# Teams

> PlanetScale allows you to create teams within organizations.

## Overview

This allows you to easily manage administrator access to one or multiple databases all in one spot.

## Create and manage Teams

You can manage teams straight from your PlanetScale dashboard by going to "**Settings**" > "**Teams**".

> [!NOTE]
>
> Only [Organization Administrators](https://planetscale.com/docs/security/access-control.md#organization-administrator) can create and
> manage Teams.

Once you add databases to a team, any members on that team will have [Database Administrator access](https://planetscale.com/docs/security/access-control.md#database-level-permissions) to those databases. Review our [Access control documentation](https://planetscale.com/docs/security/access-control.md) to understand the full scope of Database Administrator access.

### Create a team

**Step 1**

On your PlanetScale overview page, click "**Settings**".

**Step 2**

Click "**Teams**" in the left nav.

**Step 3**

Give your team a name and description (*optional*).

**Step 4**

Click "**Create team**".

### Add members

**Step 1**

Click "**Add a member**".

**Step 2**

You'll see a list of your Organization members. Select the member(s) one at a time that you wish to add to the team.

### Add databases

**Step 1**

Click "**Add databases**".

**Step 2**

Select the databases you want this team to have [database administrator access](https://planetscale.com/docs/security/access-control.md#database-level-permissions) to.

Now, when you go to the Settings page for any databases you've added to a team, you'll also be able to view and revoke access straight from the database Administrators page.

### Remove members and databases

To remove a member from a team, find their name in the member list and click "**Remove**". At this time, you'll also be able to delete any passwords this member has created to ensure you've completely revoked their access to the database.

![Dashboard UI - Delete a member from a team](https://mintcdn.com/planetscale-2/GA0k5H-MolPvBjDk/images/assets/docs/concepts/teams/member.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=GA0k5H-MolPvBjDk\&q=85\&s=a782f3091086aeed095c33ffc3b511e0)

To remove a database from a team, click the "**x**" next to the database name under "Administrator permissions". This will remove database administrator access for all members of the team.

## Directory Sync with Teams

If you have [SSO with Directory Sync](https://planetscale.com/docs/security/sso.md#directory-sync) enabled, all Teams will be managed by your Directory Sync directory. You can add and remove database access to teams, but member management must be done through your directory.
