A team is a group of users who are called team members. A team must report to a business unit, but team members are not necessarily from the same business unit. Creating a team gives greater flexibility for sharing and collaboration.

A team is used mainly for efficient sharing of business objects with a group of users. A user can share business objects with a team.

After a team is created and users are assigned to it, users automatically have access to the entity instances shared with the team. The team members can access those instances as if they were directly shared with them.

The following illustration shows the entity relationships for this area. For more information, see Key to Entity Diagrams.
