What are parent and child teams?
Parent and child teams are a way to nest teams within teams to reflect the hierarchy and structure of your organisation. They are generally recommended for organisations with 50 to 100 employees to reflect reporting lines.
Only one level of nested teams is supported, which means that a child team cannot be a parent team to another child team. A parent team can have unlimited child teams, but a child team can only belong to one parent team.
How does team membership apply to parent and child teams?
Membership from parent to child teams is not automatic. For example, if a user is a member of the "New South Wales" parent team and someone creates a child team called "Byron Bay," they will not be automatically a team member of "Byron Bay" unless they are added to both teams.
Do team managers manage both parent and child teams?
If you are a team manager for a parent team, your permission applies to both the parent and its child teams. However, you will only be listed as team manager for the parent unless you are added as team manager for both teams.
Conversely, if you are a team manager for a child team, but not the parent team, your permission only applies to the child team and not to the parent team.
