Create, edit, or delete a team

Create teams to manage tasks for specific social accounts, such as content creation, customer engagement, or customer support. You can create as many teams as you want and your members and social accounts can belong to multiple teams.

Expand the instructions for your plan. If you don't know what plan you have, go to Hootsuite, and then select Account - you'll find it below your name.

Create a team

Once you've added members to your organization (see Add a member to an organization or team), you can create teams to group social accounts and members who you want to have access to them. Members and social accounts can be added to multiple teams in the same organization.

Super Admins, Admins, and members with the custom organization permission to Manage teams can create teams. An organization Super Admin or Admin inherits Team Admin permissions but is not automatically added as a team member. They must be a member of the team to view team analytics.

 

Edit a team

View the details of any team and add members or shared social accounts to it at any time. You can also change your team profile picture or name (see Edit an organization or team profile).

You must have one of the following roles to edit a team:

  • Be an organization Super Admin, Admin, or a member with the custom organization permission to Manage teams.
  • Have Team Admin, Unlimited, or custom team permissions for task you want to complete.

 

Delete a team

You must have one of the following roles to delete a team:

  • Be an organization Super Admin, Admin, or a member with the custom organization permission to Manage teams.
  • Be a member of the team with Team Admin or Unlimited team permissions.

Deleting a team also deletes that team's content library, but it does not delete members or social accounts in the organization.
