How To Create and Manage Teams

With InMotion Central, it’s easy to collaborate on website builds by creating Teams. Teams can be assigned to Projects where you can add members and give them permission to access the areas they are working on. This guide will show you how to create and manage teams with Central.

How to Create a Team

1. Log in to InMotion Central.
2. Click Teams in the main menu.
3. Click + Create Team in the top right corner.
   
4. You can now enter the following information for your new team and click the Create Team button.
   
   

   Option	Description
   Team Name	Enter a name for your team that will help identify its purpose.
   Website	Put the address for your website here, such as: www.inmotionhosting.com
   Contact Email	We recommend entering a team or department email address here, as ticket updates and deployment notifications will be sent to that address.
   Billing Email	This field is not required. If you don’t enter an email address here, bill items will be sent to the Contact Email.

After you have created at least one team, accessing the Teams page will show you a list of all your teams. You’ll see your team name, a note about billing, your role within the team, and an action button for additional options.
