Up on completing a purchase, the team with the provided name is created and the customer who executed the purchase is set as the owner of that team The customer also becomes a member of this team As the team was created after the purchase of a subscription, the lifetime of that subscription will be used to control if its related membership is granted to the member of a team

As long as a Subscription is Active, all members of the associated team will be granted that specific membership

If the subscription is no longer active (On-Hold = awaiting renewal, Expired/Cancelled = not renewed, Pending = purchase/ renewal not completed), this specific membership is no longer granted to the team members

  • Owners can be owner of multiple teams
