For example, instead of assigning five users access to the same dashboard, you can create a team that consists of those users and assign dashboard permissions to the team. A user can belong to multiple teams. A user can be a Member or an Administrator for a given team. Members of a team inherit permissions from the team, but they cannot edit the team itself. Team Administrators can add members to a team and update its settings, such as the team name, team member's team roles, UI preferences, and home dashboard. For more information about teams, refer to [Teams and permissions]({{< relref "../roles-and-permissions/#teams-and-permissions" >}}). For information about how to optimize your teams, refer to [How to best organize your teams and resources in Grafana](https://grafana.com/blog/2022/03/14/how-to-best-organize-your-teams-and-resources-in-grafana/).
