Chapter 6. Teams

6.1. Introduction to Teams

With the release of OpenShift Enterprise 2.1, multiple developers can be grouped together in a team. Domain access granted to a team applies to all of its members. In other words, a team counts as one member of a domain with the same permissions that a standard domain member would have, and you control and manage a team.
There are also global teams that are controlled and managed by a system administrator. For the ability to view and search global teams, contact your system administrator, or see the OpenShift Enterprise Administration Guide for more information.
Domain members with an administrator role can change the role of a team that is a member of that domain.
Teams and Roles

You can have explicit roles within a domain, and belong to a team which has a role within the domain. The following team roles are available: view, edit, and admin. If you have a specific role, and you are on a team that has a different role, the effective role is the higher of the two roles. Therefore, the following guidelines apply:

  • If you have the view role in a domain, and you are not on a team, you can view the domain.
  • If you are on a team that has the view role in a domain, you can view applications within that domain.
  • If you have the edit role within a domain, and you are on a team that has the view role, you can edit applications within the domain.
  • If you have the view role in a domain, and you are on a team that has the edit role, you can edit applications within the domain.
  • If you do not have an explicit role in a domain, and you are on a team that has the edit role, you are not listed in the domain membership, except within the team.
