# Teams

With the Teams tab, you can create and manage buyer teams. A buyer team allows you to create a group of users that work together and assign team leads to help manage events. Assigned users can view other team members' events. Team leads can view and edit the team's events. You can only assign procurement users to a team.

Access: To access these settings, you will need to be assigned to the Admin role for your organization.
