Managing Teams in SeekBeak

Teams are a powerful way to organize groups of users, clients, or projects within SeekBeak. There are two types of Teams:

Team - A Team is a completely unique entity, including all content, billing, users, Add-Ons, Sub-Teams, and subscription details. When you create your SeekBeak account, you're automatically added to a Team.

Sub-Team - Sub-Teams are also Teams, just owned by other Teams! The only real difference is that they inherit the account subscription plan details from their Parent team. Sub Teams can also use any Add-Ons that the Parent Team has, for example: Custom Domains, Team Members.

In the example below, "Your Company" has a number of Sub-Teams for each office. Each Sub-Team inherits "Your Company"'s plan and features. This keeps the billing simple as it is all handled from the single "Your Company" account.

Thanks to the Role Based Access, Sub Teams can only be created from users with the role of "Team Owner" or "Team Billing".

Team Add-Ons

When it comes time to expand your business, we offer a suite of Add-Ons to help you grow!

User Roles within a Team

Users within a team can be assigned different levels of access and control. To learn about user permissions and role-based access, read our full article on it here.

Control Access to Each Team

Here is what we see when logged in a Team Member with Client Access in the "Brooklyn Team".

Notice how we have no idea that there are other Teams or Sub-Teams, we can only see the Team(s) we have access to, and the Team Members within them.

Joining And Switching Between Different Teams

Any SeekBeak user can be a Team Member of different Teams, even Teams with different owners, and can instantly switch between Teams at any point.

In an educational situation, different instructors could set up Teams for their classes. Students could be members in one, some, or all of the Teams, even though the Teams are owned by different instructors.

Teams, Sub-Teams, and Team Members allow for an almost unlimited amount of access and flexibility, allowing you to mix and match depending on your needs.
