Teams in LaunchDarkly

Teams are groups of your organization's members. A LaunchDarkly account administrator can give specific permissions to teams using custom roles. Custom roles let team members perform actions on different resources, such as projects or flags. To learn more, read Custom roles.

Large organizations often need to set up fine-grained access rules and give those permissions to specific groups of people. Assigning permissions to groups of people in an organization can help make consistent security or general workflow processes. In LaunchDarkly, teams are the mechanism for enterprise organizations to do that efficiently.

A team is primarily made up of three collections of data:

• A list of the members of the larger organization who are on that team.
• A list of the permissions that the team's members have.
• A list of the team maintainers of the larger organization who manage the team.

With teams you can:

• Easily give new members in your organization a set of custom roles by adding them to an existing team.
• Control environment permissions at the group level, rather than individually assigning an environment's access privileges to members.
• Map permissions in LaunchDarkly to your organizational structure. For example, you can give mobile flag permissions to the mobile team and desktop flag permissions to the desktop team, or give all organization members access to the staging environment, but only people on a particular team permissions to control flags on production.
