What is the relationship between user profiles and team memberships?
Premeditation
User profiles act at a profile level
whereas team memberships operate at a team level
.
You can make teams
with the same user profile`, allowing easy user management.
The role of team memberships is to manage the quotas and resources for specific users who, in this case, share the same permissions in the system.
User profiles are set individually per user, not per team.
Principle
To build a team with identical user profiles, consider the separation of duties principle.
For example, you may have a system where team A
is responsible for VM Management,team B
is taking care of the Project Management, and team C
only manages the inboxes.
Each member of teams A, B, and C have a distinct user profile with pre-defined permissions, which allows them to perform specific actions in the area they operate in.
Practice
To apply a profile to a team navigate to tab in the Users
section.
- Select the users who belong to the respective team.
- Click the
Apply profile
button in the top right. - Follow the instructions from the apply user profile section.
