What teams are good for
- Collaborate within a project group — teammates can open and work on each other’s surveys without extra setup for every new survey.
- Keep teams isolated — employees on Team A do not see Team B’s surveys unless someone is explicitly invited.
- Share across teams when needed — use survey invites for one-off access across team boundaries (for example, a specialist on another team).
- Stay in control as an admin — admins always see all company surveys and manage team membership centrally.
Teams apply to employees only. Company admins are not team members and always have access to all surveys in the company.
How survey access works
Every survey has an owner (the employee who created it). The owner always keeps access to their survey. Team access is based on the owner’s current team:| Who | What they can access |
|---|---|
| Company admin | All surveys in the company |
| Survey owner | Their own surveys |
| Employee on the same team as the owner | Surveys owned by anyone on that team |
| Employee invited to a survey | That survey, even if they are on another team |
| Employee with no team | Only surveys they own, plus surveys they are invited to |
When team membership changes
Access updates automatically — you do not need to re-share surveys.- Owner moves to another team — their former teammates lose access; their new teammates gain access.
- Employee joins a team — they immediately see surveys owned by teammates on that team.
- Employee leaves a team — they keep surveys they own and surveys they were invited to, but lose team-based access to teammates’ surveys.
Set up teams (admins)
Create a team
Click Create Team (or Manage Teams if teams already exist). Enter a team name and select at least one employee. Team names must be unique within your company.
Share a survey with specific people
Team membership covers most day-to-day collaboration. Use Share on a survey when someone outside the owner’s team needs access.- Open the survey and click Share.
- Review Team access to see which teammates already have access through the owner’s team.
- Under Invited users, select employees to invite and click Invite.
Who can manage invites
These users can add or remove invited users on a survey:- Company admins
- The survey owner
- Employees on the same team as the owner
Common scenarios
Two colleagues should see each other's surveys
Two colleagues should see each other's surveys
Put both employees on the same team. Each person’s surveys become visible to the other through team access.
A manager on another team needs access to one survey
A manager on another team needs access to one survey
Keep teams as they are and invite the manager on that survey. They do not need to join the owner’s team.
A project ends and people move to a new team
A project ends and people move to a new team
Reassign employees in Administration → Users. Survey access follows the owner’s current team, so old project surveys stay with the old team unless owners move too.
An employee is not on any team
An employee is not on any team
They only see surveys they created and surveys they were explicitly invited to. Admins still see everything.
