Manage teams & permissions

Use a team when several people need to work on the same canvases and share a Tapies balance. When you switch teams, Creative OS shows the canvases, members, subscription, and Tapies balance that belong to that team.

1. Create a team

1. Select the current team name at the top of the page.
2. Choose Create team.
3. Enter a team name. You can also upload a team avatar.
4. Select Create.

Creative OS switches to the new team as soon as it is created.

Each new team has a separate billing account and starts with 0 Tapies. Subscriptions, benefits, and Tapies from your personal account or another team do not transfer to it.

2. Switch teams

Select the current team name at the top of the page, then choose the team you want to open. After the page reloads, the menu shows the new team name, your role, the member count, and your Tapies usage.

Use the settings button next to the team name to open Team settings. From there, you can:

• update the team name and avatar;
• copy the team ID;
• invite members;
• search and review the member list;
• manage member roles and Tapies allowances.

If an action is not available to your current role, its control is hidden or disabled.

3. Invite members

1. Open Team settings.
2. Select Invite members.
3. Copy the invitation link and send it to the person you want to add.
4. They join the current team after opening the link and accepting the invitation.

Before sharing the link, open Edit link settings to configure:

• Link expiration: the link stops working after this period;
• Link usage limit: the maximum number of people who can use the link;
• Tapies settings for new members: the allowance given to anyone who joins through the link.

After changing these options, select Generate new link and copy the latest link before sending it.

4. Understand team roles

Role	What it allows
Owner	Manages the team profile, members, roles, and Tapies allowances, and holds ownership of the team.
Admin	Helps invite and manage members, and can set Tapies allowances for regular members.
Member	Opens team canvases, collaborates with the team, and uses generation features within their Tapies allowance.

The member list in Team settings shows each person's current role. Owners and admins with the required permission can change a member between Admin and Member.

An owner must transfer team ownership to another member before leaving the team.

5. Set a member's Tapies allowance

Find the person in the member list, then use the edit button beside their Tapies usage. You can choose from three allowance types:

No usage limit

The member can use the team's Tapies until the team's total balance runs out.

Recurring allowance

Set how many Tapies the member can use each day, week, or month. Generation pauses for that member when the allowance is used up, then becomes available again when the next cycle begins.

Fixed allowance

Give the member a fixed amount of Tapies. It does not reset automatically after it is used. Someone with permission must update or restore the allowance.

After you save, the member list shows the amount used and the total allowance. Members can also check their own usage in the team menu at the top of the page.

No usage limit still consumes team Tapies. It removes the individual cap; it does not make generation free.

6. Remove a member or leave a team

Members with the required permission can remove someone from Team settings. Once confirmed, that person immediately loses access to the team's resources.

Members and admins can select Leave team at the bottom of Team settings. The change takes effect immediately, and they can no longer open the team's canvases or other resources.

To move a personal canvas into a shared team space, continue to Create with your team.
