This article covers everything you need to know about creating a team! Shift for Teams offers all the same features and functionality as an individual license, with a few added benefits, including team roles and permissions, unified billing, and a team dashboard that can be used to manage your members easily.

 A team can be as small as 2 users!  

The Admin is the main point of contact for the team for all billing and account-related inquiries. They're also the only member on the team with access to the team's billing and payment details, and team management dashboard. If you're having trouble deciding who your team admin should be, we've created a quick checklist for you below to help! The team Admin should:

• Be an active Shift user
• Feel comfortable with assigning and unassigning licenses (i.e. have some insight into the team's Operations)
• Feel comfortable being a point of contact for account-related things
• Have access to a credit card or the ability to update payment details as needed
