Teams
Teams are used to efficiently manage usage rights granted to user groups. Instead of granting usage rights to individual users for each target, it's much more practical to create appropriate teams and grant access rights for the targets by using teams. Once a teams are created, you can add the right users to the right teams, allowing users to inherit usage rights from the team. A single user can also belong to multiple teams.
Teams view shows all teams of the client, amount of the users in the teams and descriptions of the teams.
