# Teams

In this guide, we'll step you through how to create teams and assign [invited users](https://docs.hava.io/collaboration/inviting-users) to give them more permissions in your account.

Each user needs their own personal account, which is then attached to the primary account, so every person who uses [Hava.io](https://hava.io) has a user account.

Before you can add roles for your [invited users](https://docs.hava.io/collaboration/inviting-users) you need to create a team. An [owner team](#owner-team) is created by default, but we suggest creating different teams, which can then be assigned [Admin](#admin-users) or [Read-Only](#undefined) permission.

### Access Teams

1. You will find a **user logo** in the **top right corner** with a **dropdown menu**.\ <img src="https://codahosted.io/docs/eYUuF28xsD/blobs/bl-cSlsJquWQE/dba56a5975fa9d4c50698be8582902022f94ca694c458cc7667554cedc0da5403497a07f77968f096ec1907122dd61d7c7aa6772b93c890cde65e6405b2cbcfe750cdeca5ea46e2af8ba63771066bf0fe29794752b0cf84e87fb83bd249e8f2f3b10bc61" alt="CleanShot 2022-07-26 at 10.48.53@2x.png" data-size="line">

### **The 3 Types of Roles**

* **Owner:** Owners have full access to the primary account, including billing, teams and projects.
* **Admin:** Admin users have the capabilities for adding & removing sources and creating environments using search.
* **Read-Only:** Read-only users will only have access to view the sources they are assigned to within a project folder or organisation-wide. This is the default access, even if your users are not in a team.

### Owner Team

All Hava **Team and Enterprise accounts** require a '**owners**' team and are created on sign-up by default.

Any members added to this **Owners** team will have full access to your Hava account. Only owners will be able to manage the users in this team.

Your new team will populate in the team list.

## Adding Members to Teams

Once your team is created you can then assign [previously invited users](https://docs.hava.io/collaboration/inviting-users) to your team.

Click on the **Select user** dropdown and select the user to add to the team, then click **Add User**. This user will now be a member of this team and will have the access level of the role granted to the team. Users in multiple teams will be granted the permissions of the highest role from among those teams.
