What are a team in Knowly?

A team in Knowly functions in many ways like its own organization. Each team has its courses, administrators, and participants. Additionally, a team can have its branding, colour, and logo. As an administrator, you have a role in each team you are invited to, which defines your permissions in that specific team. You may have a different role and permission level in another team or no role.

For example, suppose you are an internal academy where one team is responsible for leadership development and another for onboarding. In that case, you can create separate teams for each in Knowly. The leadership team will have its learning journeys and administrators, and the onboarding team will have its own.

In addition, an administrator with permissions only in the leadership team will be unable to see participants' responses and activity in a course in the onboarding team, and vice versa.
