In VLX, **Teams** help you organize users by location, department, or function, allowing you to better manage access, inspections, templates, and workflows. Whether you're running inspections across multiple regions or different client accounts, teams give you the flexibility to segment your operations with control and clarity.

## Where to Access Teams

To manage or create teams:

1. Click the **Tools** menu in the top navigation bar.
2. Under **Organization Settings**, select **Teams**.

This will open the Teams page where you can view, edit, or create new teams within your organization.

## How to Create a New Team

1. From the **Teams** page, click the blue **+ New Team** button.
2. Enter the **Team Name** in the dialog box that appears.
3. Click **Create** to finalize the new team.

The new team will now appear in your list of teams, along with its assigned location, creation time, and number of users.

## Adding Users to a Team

Once the team is created:

1. Click the arrow icon next to the team name to open its details.
2. Click **+ Add User** on the right-hand side.
3. Enter the user’s email address.
4. Choose their **Role** from the following options:
   - **Viewer**: Can view inspections and projects but cannot make changes.
   - **Contributor (Limited)**: Can only manage their own inspections and projects.
   - **Contributor**: Can manage all inspections and projects in the team.
   - **Admin**: Full control over team settings, users, inspections, and templates.

Once added, the user will appear under the team’s user list with their assigned role and status.

**Note:** For example, you might add a regional manager as an Admin and field inspectors as Contributors (Limited) so they can only work on their own inspections.
