# Create a team

Add a team with an owner and optional parent team, so its goals and view group together.

A team gets its own view of its goals, in the sidebar of everyone on it.

**Who can do this:** roles with Create teams. Settings, Teams also needs Manage teams, Owners and Admins by default. See [Roles & permissions](https://help.brev.io/roles-and-permissions/#matrix).

## Create a team {#steps}

1. Open Settings. Under Workspace, click **Teams**.
2. Click **Create team**.
3. Type a name, up to 100 characters. A description is optional.
4. Pick the owner. It starts as you.
5. Optionally, pick a **Parent team** to make it a sub-team.
6. Click **Add Team**.

> **Tip: Success check**
>
> You see Team created successfully, and the team appears in the table. Its view appears under Teams in its members' sidebars.
