### Team modification permissions
58+
59+
Under the team's settings, in the **Permissions** tab, specify which users can modify the team membership. The following options are available:
5660
- Only users with the `user_access_manage` permission
5761
- Team managers
5862
- Team managers and members
5963
- Anyone in the organization

The list is sorted in order of increasing permissiveness. Each option in the list includes the group in the entries above it. For example, selecting "team managers" means that both team managers and users with `user_access_manage` can modify membership.
66+
67+
The option that you select for which users can add and remove members determines whether you can add the team to access control lists. Two types of teams exist: invite only teams and open teams.
68+
69+
Invite only teams
70+
: Teams with restricted membership. Can be set as access control recipients. Created when you restrict team membership modification to one of the first three options.
71+
72+
Open teams
73+
: Teams with unrestricted membership. Cannot be set as access control recipients. Created when you allow **Anyone in the organization** to modify team membership.
74+

Users with the `user_access_manage` permission can set default rules on who can add or remove members, or edit team details. Set default rules with the **Default Settings** button on the team directory page. Override these policies for an individual team on the team details panel.

### Teams managed outside Datadog
78+
79+
In some cases, a team's membership cannot be directly modified within Datadog by anyone (including a user with `user_access_manage`):
80+
- If your org has selected SAML as the only team provisioning source, then the SAML team mappings control team membership. You cannot modify the team membership through Datadog.
81+
- If a team is managed through an identity provider, then the identity provider controls team membership. You cannot modify the team membership through Datadog.

### Subteams (hierarchical teams)
6484

6585
With subteams, you can nest teams within each other to mimic your company's hierarchy in Datadog, allowing for a more complete and accurate ownership model. Subteams also provide an enhanced filtering experience; select a larger team (like a director-level group) to find all the data connected to any of its subteams.
