Create and manage teams
last updated at: Jun 8, 2026
Teams let you group members together so you can share files, folders, and calendars with everyone in the group at once. You manage teams from the Admin app.
Create a team
- Open the Admin app.
- In the sidebar, find the Teams section. Click the + button next to it.
- In the Create Team dialog, type a name for the team.
- Click Create.
The new team appears in the sidebar. Click it to open its detail panel.
Add members to a team
- Select the team in the sidebar.
- In the Members section of the detail panel, click Add.
- In the Add Member to Team dialog, search by name or email address.
- Click a person to add them. You can add one person at a time.
- Close the dialog when you are done.
You can also add members by going to the Members page, selecting one or more people from the list, and dragging them onto a team name in the sidebar. This is faster when you want to add several people at once.
Remove a member from a team
- Select the team in the sidebar.
- In the Members section, find the person you want to remove.
- Click the × button to the right of their name.
Edit team settings
- Select the team in the sidebar.
- Click Edit at the top of the detail panel.
- Change the Team Name if needed.
- Under Calendar, turn the team calendar on or off, and set how much access members have: Free/Busy, Read, or Write.
- Under Quota Overrides, you can set a custom storage limit for mail and contacts, or for the team Drive, that applies to all members of this team. Leave the fields empty to use the server defaults.
- Click Save Settings.
Delete a team
- Select the team in the sidebar.
- Click the delete icon (a bin) in the toolbar at the top right of the detail panel.
- Read the confirmation message and click Delete.
Deleting a team cannot be undone.
