Team

A team lets several accounts work with the same gateways. You share a gateway into the team from its row on the Gateways page; members then see it on their Gateways → Team tab. The Team page manages the team itself: members, roles, and invites.

Creating a team requires the Team plan. Joining one does not — any approved account can be invited.

Preview limit

During the preview, a Team-plan account can run one team. Additional teams are coming later.

Roles

Every member has one of five roles, highest authority first:

RoleNotes
ownerFull control, including deleting the team. A team always keeps at least one owner, and an owner cannot be removed by others.
managerCan manage members and invites, like an owner.
contributorWorks with shared gateways.
viewerRead-mostly access. The default role for new invites.
guestThe most limited role.

Only owners and managers can add or remove members, change roles, and manage invites. Members below owner can always Leave a team themselves.

Adding members

Two ways, both under the team's card:

  • Add by GitHub username. Enter the username and pick a role. If that person already has a Burrowee account they join immediately; if not, the invite is recorded as pending sign-in and they join automatically the first time they sign in.
  • Generate invite link. Pick a role and click Generate invite link — the link is copied to your clipboard. Send it to anyone; opening it signs them in (GitHub OAuth) and joins them at that role. Pending invites of both kinds are listed below, where you can re-copy a link or Revoke it.

Managing members

The member list shows each person's GitHub login, email, and join date. Owners and managers can change anyone's role with the inline dropdown — except demoting the last owner, which is refused — and Remove any non-owner member.

An owner can Delete team from the card header (with a confirm). Gateways shared into the team are not deleted — they remain their owners' personal gateways.
