Team member permissions

Applies only to Fleet Premium

Users in Fleet either have team access or global access.

Users with team access only have access to the hosts, software, schedules , and policies assigned to their team.

Users with global access have access to all hosts, software, queries, schedules , and policies. Check out the user permissions table above for global user permissions.

Users can be a member of multiple teams in Fleet.

Users that are members of multiple teams can be assigned different roles for each team. For example, a user can be given access to the "Workstations" team and assigned the "Observer" role. This same user can be given access to the "Servers" team and assigned the "Maintainer" role.
