Differences between Team vs. Group
I'm trying to see the difference between a "team" and a "group." Is one a sub-set of the other?
Hey debattwg, I hope you’re doing well.
In general, only admins of a Business team can create, rename, or delete a team folder via the Content tab of their Admin Console. You can also read more details about this here and here.
So, you can definitely have another person on your team manage them, but you’ll need to make them an admin first.
Hope this clarifies things a bit, but you can let me know if you’ve got any further questions.
Thank you. What I'm trying to get at is the hierarchy of folder management, i.e., who can create and manipulate top-level folders and who can't. My objective is to have one member in charge of all of the company's top-level folders, and the other members able to create and manipulate sub-folders. Right now, all of our members can do everything. I think we have one Team that includes everyone in the company, and one big "group" that also includes everyone in the company. I'd like to separate out one member of the company to be the only one who can create, move, archive, or delete a top-level folder. Can I do that from the Team level, or do I have to go into the group and change each member's permissions, or what?
Thanks again!
