Teams

Overview

The Teams feature allows admins to control which users have access to a company's data. For example, when admins assign users to a specific company in Teams, only those users will have access to that company's data.

Admins can assign different team roles in a team. Navigate to the Data Operations tab in the Data Management, to create custom team roles as per your requirement. For more information on how to add records in an object, refer to the Add Records section in the Data Operations article.

For customers having an active Salesforce connector, team roles and other data are synced from the Account Team Member object in Salesforce. An Out Of the Box (OOB) job is added for the Salesforce connector to sync Teams data from Salesforce to Gainsight.

A new standard object called Company Team is added in the Gainsight to store all data related to Teams feature. The data permissions set through Teams is honored by Company object and all objects which have a lookup on Company object. Admins can add custom fields into the Company Team object. For more information about the fields of Company Teams object, refer to the Gainsight Object Glossary article.

You can use the Teams feature in the following scenarios:

When multiple users are working in the same company for all customer facing activities.
When you want to limit the number of users accessing the company records.
When you want to manually give access to individual users for your company records.

IMPORTANT:

Super admins can access all data in Gainsight irrespective of data permissions set through Teams.
Super admins can only create, edit, and delete Team admins in a team. A Team admin cannot create, edit, and delete another Team admin in the same team.
A team can have multiple Team admins or none at all.
Team admins can manage team members on the same team.
When you assign a user to a company, then their managers upto 3 levels get access to data as well.
User object is excluded from data permissions set through Company Teams.

Limitations

Admins can update custom fields only in the Data tab under Gainsight Data Management feature.
Manual updating of records synced from Salesforce is not supported.
Company Teams is available for customers who have purchased one of our Enterprise packages by default. For companies that are still on Gainsight's legacy packaging model, this feature can be enabled by raising a support ticket. If you have questions around whether you're entitled to Company Teams, please reach out to your CSM.

Company Data Permissions

To configure the permission for the company data, navigate to the Administration > Users and Permissions > Data Permissions > Company tab.

Super Admins can access all the company data and the permissions applied through Rules and Teams are not applicable to them. For the non super admins, the following are the permission options:

Permissions Types	Descriptions
Public	Toggle On: All users can access the company data and other objects with lookup to Company objects. All the Rules and Team-based restrictions will be removed. Toggle Off: All users lose access to the company data and other objects with lookup to Company object. You can configure Rules and/or Team-based permissions to manage user access to company data.
Rules Based	Admins can manage company data access of the users based on the conditional rules. For example, Admins can create an access rule for the Sales team in the US East region to access only the companies in that region.
Team Based	Toggle On: Prevents users from managing data outside of their designated companies. Toggle Off: Grant all users access to Company object and objects with lookup to Company object.
