ARE GROUPS AND TEAMS THE SAME?

HOW CAN A GROUP VARY FROM A TEAM IN TERMS OF FUNCTIONALITY & TECHNICALITY?

Best answer by RoyCrerar

Hi, Groups give you the ability to assign permissions to participants and by adding a user into a group they can be managed collectively. Teams pull in participants with varying responsibilities. 

 

There  could be a group of mechanical engineers and a group associated with quality/change control. The team calls in one or more mechanical guys and the same for some of the participants of other groups. Not all mechanical guys need to be in the team.

 

Hope this helps.

    Thanks Roy!

     

    But technically,what's the use of this sorting?

    Because for a group, Collectively access Control can be given!

    Then,whats the need for a team?

    Thanks for the reply.

    Hi,

     

    For example the mechanical guys have permission to do the work. The group is assigned these permissions so that you don't have to edit each mechanical guy you just add them to the group.

     

    The quality guys may have permissions to do something completely different. Not doing the work just reviewing and or approving it. Again  they will be associated with that group to make it easier to assign these permissions.

     

    You need a combination of participants in a team that is a subset of the two (or more) groups. Say possibly 3 mechanical guys and one quality. You may have 100 mechanical guys and 25 Quality guys that don't all need to be involved in that project.
