Create teams, add users to teams, and nest teams within other teams to help organize users so you can better view their data.

## Creating a new team

> ✅ Before modifying your team structure, download the current structure from the Teams page so you have it as a reference as you’re making your changes.

To create a new team:

1. Navigate to **Settings**.
2. Click **Teams** under User management.
3. Click **Create team**.
4. Enter a team name in the **Create new team** modal.
  
5. Upload a team image and team description, if desired.
6. Select a parent team, if applicable.
7. Choose the default view rights for team members on this team. Available options include:
  - **Inherit (default)**: The team inherits the parent team’s view rights. If no parent team is selected, the team inherits your organization’s default view rights.
  - **Yes**: The team can view each others' metrics.
  - **No**: The team can't view each others' metrics.
8. Click the **Save** button to create the team.

## Adding existing users to a new team

Add users to a new team on the team level or the user level. This section involves inviting existing users. You can also [invite new users](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FD/pages/1801945504) to a team.

To add an existing user to a team:

2. Click **Add users** under the Users tab.
3. Use the search bar in the Add users to team modal to locate a user.

Now that the user is a member of the team, adjust the user's team view rights and membership type. See which other teams the user belongs to and whether they're excluded from metrics.

## Nesting and unnesting a team

Organize teams in Flow by nesting child teams under parent teams. Use a nested team structure to reflect your company's hierarchy and to manage teams more effectively.

Nest any existing team in your organization.

To nest or unnest a team:

1. Click **Settings** in Flow’s top navigation.
2. Click **Teams** under User Management in the left navigation.
3. To nest a team, drag an existing team over another team until a dash-lined box appears, then drop the team into the box.
4. To unnest a team, drag a child team to the left until a dash-lined box appears, then drop the team into the box.
