Teams
Modern teams are at the heart of All Quiet
Teams are a means of organizing collaborators (team members) and integrations.
- Each user can be a member of multiple teams.
- Each integration belongs to exactly one team.
- Each incident triggered by an integration is thus available for collaboration only to the members of the integration’s team.
