Team Creation

This page covers how to create new teams in the People Portal.

Automatic Configuration

When a new team is created, necessary subteams are automatically generated. These subteams come with default permissions that are automatically assigned to any members you add to them. You can edit these permissions after team creation.

Permissions & Approval

Who can create teams? Users with Admin or Executive permissions can create teams directly.

If you do not have these permissions, clicking "Create Team" will submit a Team Request. The executive team will review your request, and you will receive email updates regarding its approval status.

Creating a Team

To begin, navigate to Organization > Teams in the left sidebar. On the top right, click Create New Team.

A dialog will appear where you must enter the following details:

Team Details

• Team Name: Enter a descriptive name for the team. Include the company that the contract is for, if applicable.

  Note: Do not include the timeframe (e.g., "Fall 2025") in the name as this is selected separately.

• Team Description: Describe the goal of the team. Details you can include but are not limited to the project scope, tech stack, and key deliverables or milestones.

• Team Type: There are three types of teams, each with different default settings:

  • Project Team: Standard teams working on specific projects or contracts.
    • Subteams: Leadership (AWS & Recruitment Access) and Engineering are created automatically.
    • Your Role: Automatically assigned as Project Lead.
  • Bootcamp Team: Educational teams for bootcamps such as Web Dev or Quantum.
    • Subteams: Educators (Recruitment, Permissions, Member Mgmt), Interviewers (Recruitment), and Learners are created automatically.
    • Your Role: Automatically assigned as Bootcamp Director.
  • Corporate Team: Internal teams for App Dev Operations (e.g., Sponsorship, Marketing).
    • Subteams: No subteams are created by default.
    • Your Role: You can choose your own custom role title.

• Team Season: Select the appropriate semester (e.g., Fall, Spring) and year from the dropdowns.

Finalizing Creation

Once all details are entered, click Create Team.
