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 vs. Team Memberships
note

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.
