Create team

POST /team

Creates a team. Requires `team:create` (every Member holds it) or `team:manage`. Team names are unique within the organization. The caller becomes this team's administrator immediately — the same auto-ownership every other created resource gets — whether or not their own id also appears in `member_ids`. `member_ids` optionally adds other existing organization members (`GET /member`) as ordinary members in the same call; an id that is not already an org member fails the whole call before anything is created. To promote one of them to administrator too, follow up with `PATCH /team/{id}/members/{userId}`. There is no way to create a team you do not administer: to stand one up for somebody else, create it and appoint them; a team administrator cannot remove another administrator, themselves included, so taking yourself off afterwards needs a `team:manage` holder.

Request Body

descriptionstring,null
member_idsstring[]

User ids (usr_…) of existing organization members to add alongside the caller. Optional.

namestring

Response Body

admin_countinteger

How many of them administer the team.

admin_previewobject[]

The first few administrators, with display names already resolved, so a client can name them without a lookup per row. At most 5 — a preview for a hover, never the set; admin_count is the size. name and email are both null for someone who has left the organization.

avatar_urlstring,null

The person's picture: their stored profile picture, else a Gravatar URL (d=404, 96px) derived from their email (the address itself is not sent), else null. Draw initials when it is null or the image fails to load.

emailstring,null
is_adminboolean

Always true here.

namestring,null
user_idstring
created_atstring · date-time
descriptionstring,null
idstring

Team id (team_…).

member_countinteger

How many people are in the team. The row carries no roster array; GET /team/{id}/member is the roster.

member_previewobject[]

The same, for the first few members (administrators included, flagged by is_admin). member_count is the size; GET /team/{id}/member is the full, paginated roster.

avatar_urlstring,null

The person's picture: their stored profile picture, else a Gravatar URL (d=404, 96px) derived from their email (the address itself is not sent), else null. Draw initials when it is null or the image fails to load.

emailstring,null
is_adminboolean
namestring,null
user_idstring
namestring

Unique within the organization.
