Chapter 4. Team and Global Team Management

Teams contain a group of developers that are part of a conjoined role within a domain, and are created and owned by developers.
As an OpenShift Enterprise administrator, you can create global teams from a preexisting source, such as an LDAP database, and synchronize team membership. Note that each global team must have a unique name.

Table 4.1. Teams and Global Teams

Team Types Owner Use Conditions
Team Developer To collaborate on an application Each team name must be unique name within a domain.
Global team Administrator To reuse existing group definitions for user management, such as LDAP groups. Each global team name must be unique.

Note

By default, developers cannot view and search global teams. As an OpenShift Enterprise administer, you must enable this capability so that global teams can be viewed and searched by developers.

4.1. Setting the Maximum Number of Teams for Specific Users

On the broker host, you can set a limit to the number of teams a developer can create with the following command: 
# oo-admin-ctl-user -l username --setmaxteams No_of_Teams
The default number is set to 0. Edit the DEFAULT_MAX_TEAMS setting located in the /etc/openshift/broker.conf file to change the default setting for any new users created after the setting has been modified. Restart the broker service for the changes to take effect.
