What are teams?
Teams are groups of coworkers that you bring together to help you:
- Collaborate within your company and with freelancers
- Organize work, finances, and reports
Company admins and owners can create teams, invite coworkers to join, and assign specific roles to coworkers. You can also group new contracts under teams by selecting the team when you post a job.
Learn more about using teams to group your contracts if you have the Business Plus plan.
How many teams can I create?
All clients can have at least one team on Upwork, and it is automatically created when you set up your account. To add more teams, upgrade to Business Plus.
How do I create a team?
If you are on the Business Plus plan, you can create additional teams:
- Go to Account settings (desktop) or Settings (mobile app) > Teams & Members
- Select +Create a team (if you aren't on the Business Plus plan, you'll be able to upgrade to it here)
- Enter the team name
- Select Save
Can I make changes to existing teams?
You can edit a team at any time by adding or removing members, changing permissions, or moving members to a different team. You can also hide a team that you’re not currently using and make it active again later.
