How can I change my team to not be open?

[Rabago, Marian (M.)]

I found an article that provide the steps to change the membership control for a specific team, but I do not have the option. How can I change it for the team to not be opened to anyone?

This is what is shown in the article:

Understanding membership controls

When teams were first released, anyone within the organization could join a team after it’s been created. New teams now require an invite or approval to join, meaning people can only join by requesting to join or getting an invite from an existing member. Existing teams will remain open for anyone to join.

To change membership controls for an existing team:

1. From the team profile page, select the menu icon next to Add people.

2. Select Team settings.

3. Select or clear the checkbox under Membership controls.

   1. Selecting the box will enable anyone to join the team without needing an invite or approval.

   2. Clearing the box means people will need to request approval or get an invite from an existing member.

@Rabago, Marian (M.) Welcome to the Atlassian community 

Did you create the team?  Have you checked with your administrator to see if the can make the change?
