Create teams and manage users

Teams and permissions are used for collaboration between testers with tests:

• Each team works with its own tests.

• A user can be a member of several teams and navigate between them. But at a time the user works with tests of one team.

• A user can have different permission in each team he has access to. For example, Run in one team, and View in the others.

Permissions

Permissions define actions that users can perform on PFLB Platform:

• Team owner gives the user permission to change the team settings, view, edit, and run tests, and manage registered users.

• View gives the user permission to view tests, testing results, trend reports, and settings sets.

• Edit gives the user permission to edit tests, trend reports, and settings sets.

• Run gives the user permission to run projects.

• Manage users gives the user permission to add users to the teams, edit permissions for team members, and delete users.

Edit permissions when you add a new team member.

Note

Only a team owner can grant the Team owner permission to users.
