Settings: Teams & Users Overview

The "Teams / Users" section, prominently accessible from the main "Settings" navigation, serves as the central hub for comprehensively managing an organization's development teams and individual contributors within devActivity.com.

This powerful section empowers administrators and organization owners to efficiently organize their development teams, manage contributor access, and ensure proper role assignments. The ability to invite external managers facilitates transparent reporting to clients or external stakeholders, improving collaboration and understanding of development progress and performance metrics without granting full administrative access to sensitive internal settings or data. This streamlines onboarding, offboarding, and team restructuring, ensuring compliance with contributor limits based on your organization's plan.

Key Features & Benefits

• Contributor Management: View all active contributors, track their last activity and login status, and manage their access.
• Team Organization: Create, edit, and filter development teams to structure your workforce effectively.
• Role Assignment: Assign specific roles like 'Admin' or 'Manager' to contributors, controlling their permissions within the platform.
• External Access Control: Invite external managers to view devActivity reports, providing transparency to clients or stakeholders without full internal access.
• GitHub Sync: Keep your contributor list automatically updated with your connected GitHub repositories.

Upon entering this section, users are presented with a clear and functional interface. A left-hand panel organizes teams, starting with an 'All Org Contributors' section, which can be expanded to reveal specific teams. A 'Teams quick filter' is available for efficient navigation through larger team lists. The easily discoverable "Create team +" button provides a straightforward mechanism for establishing new organizational units as required.

The main content area features a detailed table of "Contributors", offering essential information at a glance. Above this table, a clear indicator, for example, "Contributors: 7 of 10", shows the current number of active contributors relative to the organization's plan limit. A 'Users quick filter' further aids in searching and locating specific contributors within the list.

Key actions are readily available at the top of the contributor table, including the "Sync with GitHub" button to ensure your contributor list remains current, and the "Invite External Manager" button for transparent client reporting. Each row in the contributor table includes the contributor's name, last activity, assigned teams, and an 'ACTIONS' column with a pencil icon to edit details (like assigning roles) and a toggle switch to enable or disable account access.
