# Create a Team

> How to create a team and add members to it.

Source: https://docs.cm.com/governance/guides/customers/create-a-team

A team groups users so you can assign a role once and it applies to everyone in the team. You manage teams in the **Teams** view of the Governance portal.

You need the Governance **Editor** permission.

## Steps

1. Open **Teams** and create a new team.
2. Enter a **team name**.
3. Add **members**. Only users can be members.
4. Save.

The team can now be given roles like any other user. See [Assign a role](https://docs.cm.com/governance/guides/customers/assign-a-role).

## Change a team

You can rename a team and add or remove members. Make at least one change before saving.

## Good to know

- Members get every role assigned to the team.
- Changes to a team appear in the [change log](https://docs.cm.com/governance/guides/customers/view-logs).
