Group Admin access to Teams/Associating Teams with a Group

Hi Catherine, unfortunately planners must be either a member of the team or the owner of the team. The fact that teams aren't wrapped into the standard sharing functionality continues to be a disappointment. I raised awareness to this recently in another post, and Workfront responded rather quickly by offering to roll out a patch to customers who want it. However, what they did falls short of what we need. The solution was to add some back end logic that prevents members from deleting teams in the instance by throwing an error. It's a start from a security perspective, but what we really need is the ability to add sharing to teams (Contribute, Manage) as we can other objects, such as Projects, Portfolios, Programs, Templates, etc. so we can grant group administrators more capability. Until that happens, changes to teams must be routed through a single team owner (AKA single point of failure) or through administrators, making our jobs more difficult. The documentation you referenced is highlighted in yellow, which might indicate it's a yet-to-be-released feature. Thanks for bringing this up again, as I see it as one of a handful of needed Classic fixes. --NR

Hello, Catherine, Narayan,

‚‚

I'd like to confirm that the functionality for associating teams with a group is now available in Preview and will be released to Production with 20.4 release in November. As a result, the Group Administrators will get access to manage the teams assigned to their groups.

‚

Hope this will be helpful in the ‚team management process and please let me know if you have any questions in this topic.

‚

Thanks!
