Creating Teams

Teams

Teams are the foundation of Cadence. They help you organize events, manage members, and keep everything in one place. This guide will help you create and manage your teams.

What Are Teams?

Teams in Cadence are groups of people who coordinate events together. Each team has:

  • Members with different roles and permissions
  • Events created within that team
  • Settings and preferences specific to that team
  • Optional sub-teams for larger organizations

Creating a New Team

  1. From your dashboard, click "Create Team" or the "+" button
  2. Enter a team name (e.g., "Valorant Squad" or "Weekly Gaming Group")
  3. Add an optional description to explain what the team is for
  4. Set your team's default timezone
  5. Choose initial privacy settings (who can see and join the team)
  6. Click "Create Team"

Team Settings

After creating a team, you can configure:

  • Privacy: Public (anyone can join), Private (invite only), or Restricted (approval required)
  • Default Timezone: The timezone used for events unless specified otherwise
  • Member Limits: Based on your plan (Free: 8 members, Premium: 10+ members)
  • Sub-teams: Create sub-teams for larger organizations (Premium feature)

Inviting Members

Once your team is created, you'll want to invite members:

  1. Go to your team's settings or members page
  2. Click "Invite Members"
  3. Enter Discord usernames or email addresses
  4. Choose their initial role (Member, Admin, etc.)
  5. Send the invitations

Invited members will receive a notification and can accept the invitation to join your team.

Team Roles

Teams have different roles with different permissions:

  • Owner: Full control - can manage members, settings, and delete the team
  • Admin: Can create events, manage members, and modify settings
  • Member: Can create events and view team information
  • Viewer: Can only view events and mark availability (read-only)

Best Practices

  • Use clear names: Make team names descriptive so members know what they're for
  • Set timezones: If your team spans multiple timezones, set a default and communicate it
  • Start small: You can always add more members later
  • Use sub-teams: For large organizations, create sub-teams for different squads or divisions
