I have the following questions about the Teams feature in a Jira Software Cloud Premium subscription. I've researched the topics looking through documentation and I believe the answer to all the questions is "No", but I wanted to check in with the community. * Is there a way to restrict who can add/manage teams? * Is there a way for admins to manage user-created teams?* There is a Search option for the teams, but no apparent way to delete, etc * Is there a way to 'disable' a team, where you cannot assign new items to a team, but the team is not deleted? This would be similar to the functionality for a single select list, where you can disable entries

nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

There is a way of manage who can be added, if you click on the three dot menu and select Team settings there is a checkbox to allow anyone to be added. There is also a delete option under the three dot menu.

Regarding disable that is not currently possible, you can only delete.

Thank you @Mikael Sandberg

So you can't restrict who can create a team?

You can't disable a Team.

Within each team you can limit who can join be disabling the option that says "Allow anyone to join...". But any member of a Team can add other members, correct?

What level of access is needed to be able to delete a Team?

I'm looking at a multiple Site Organization where the Teams list includes Teams from all Sites (yep, they really did that). I am an Organization Admin which makes me a Site Admin for all sites, and I appear to be able to delete any Team.
Is Site Admin/Jira Admin access required to be able to delete a Team? And does that limit the ability to only the Teams from the Sites where you have that level of access?
It appears that a person can delete a team they created, but I have not confirmed that is true if the person is a non-admin user of the instance.

Based on this KB it looks like you have to be a member of the team before you can make changes unless you are a org admin.

Thank you again, @Mikael Sandberg. I had not found that KB.

It lead me to another article that mentions that Teams from other Sites (in a multiple-Site Organization) will be visible if the logged in user has access to the other Sites.

I wonder what the use case behind that was?

It seems like a terrible idea to me, particularly with my current multi-national client that has 2-3 dozen sites (one for each business unit) with many people working across business units.
