Teams
This article explains how to use Teams to control page-level access within your fundraising account using tags and team-based assignments.
Teams help you organize and control user access at a more granular level than Permission Sets. While Permission Sets define what actions a user can take, Teams determine which Action Pages and related data a user can access—based on assigned Tags.

When to Use Teams
Use Teams when you need to restrict page-level access for specific roles—such as consultants, vendors, or volunteers—while still allowing them to perform essential tasks. Teams are perfect for giving limited, tag-based access to designated pages and data.
Do not assign the Account Owner to a Team.
Users needing full account access should not be part of a Team.
Use Cases for Creating Teams
- Consultant/Vendor Access Control: Limit access for third-party contractors to only the pages relevant to their work without granting visibility into the rest of the account.
- Volunteer Management: Assign volunteers to a Team so they can only access pages related to specific campaigns or events they’re supporting.
- Event-Specific Access: Set up a temporary Team for a specific fundraising event, and tag only those pages, ensuring the event team’s access is contained.
How Teams Work
-
Each Team is assigned a Default Tag.
-
Only pages tagged with the Team’s Tag will be visible to users in that Team.
-
Team members receive email notifications only for transactions on pages tagged with their Team’s Tag.
-
Users can be assigned to one Team at a time.
Create a Team
To set up a new Team:
-
Go to Settings > Access > Teams.
-
Click Create Team.
-
Enter a Name (required) and Description (optional).
-
Click Save Team.
After saving, a Team Tag is automatically created and assigned as the default tag for that Team.
Any Action Page created or cloned by a Team member will automatically be tagged with that Team's default Tag.
Assign Users to a Team
-
Go to Settings > Access > Users.
-
Hover over the user’s email address.
-
Click Actions > Edit.
-
Use the Team dropdown to assign the user.
-
Click Save.
Tag Action Pages with Team Tags
To grant page access to a Team:
-
Navigate to Action Pages > Pages.
-
In the Tags column, hover over the desired page and click the Pencil icon.
-
Select the appropriate Team Tag from the list.
-
Click outside the tag list to save.
Team Tags display a People icon next to their name.
If a Team Tag is not assigned to any Action Pages, users in that Team will not be able to view or interact with any data.
Delete a Team
Before deleting a Team, you must first remove all users assigned to it.
Step 1: Remove Users
-
Go to Settings > Access > Users.
-
Hover over the user’s email address.
-
Click Actions > Edit.
-
In the Team dropdown, select None or assign a new Team.
-
Click Save.
Step 2: Delete the Team
-
Go to Settings > Access > Teams.
-
Hover over the Team you want to delete.
-
Click Actions > Delete.
-
Confirm by clicking Delete Team.
Deleting a Team does not delete the Team Tag. The Tag remains available for use, but it will no longer grant access unless reassigned.
