Teams

Teams are a feature of the site that represent groups of people working together on a common theme, grant, or contract that go beyond a single project or institution. They are a way for collaborative features of the site to be shared by some, but not all, of the registered users. One such shared feature is the insight tracker system, where insights you create are visible to other members of your team(s).

You can see what teams you are a member of by selecting “My Teams” from the user menu at the upper right corner of any page. Clicking on the title of a team will take you to that team’s page, where you can see (and possibly manage) the membership of the team.

Managing Team Membership

If you have been given permission, you can add and remove members to/from your team. On the team page, click the Add Member button at the bottom, which will bring up a search field where you can add someone new. Note that they must already be a member of the Living Observatory site; if they are not yet a member e-mail us and we will send them an invitation.

You can remove someone from a team by hovering over their picture and clicking the ‘X’ button that appears. Note that if you remove yourself from a team you might lose access to make any further changes.

Creating Teams

Teams must be created by a site administrator. If you would like a new team to be created, please e-mail us with the title and purpose of the team.
