Manage Multiple Teams and Members

8min

In this guide, you will add projects, create teams, and assign roles to users. You will create two projects and assign Read/Write permissions to each team member.

  • Read permission: You can access and view all areas of Litmus Edge Manager, but you can't make any changes to existing configurations/settings.
  • Write permission: You can access all areas of Litmus Edge Manager and make changes to existing configurations/settings.

Before You Begin

You must have the Admin role to do the following:

  • Add or manage a company from your Litmus Edge Manager.
  • Add a user and assign roles to team members.
  • See Assign Admin Privileges  for more details.

Step 1: Create a Company

Step 2: Create Projects within the Company

You need to add two projects to see how to manage multiple teams and members for multiple projects. Refer to Add a New Project to learn more.
