Using Passfort

Add and edit teams

To create, edit, and delete teams, you need Read and Write access for the Manage users permission.

Note

If you've purchased the optional SSO feature, you'll see an additional field when you add and edit teams called External team ID. Use this field to link your identity provider groups to teams by adding the group names or IDs. When a user who belongs to one of these groups creates a Passfort account, they'll be assigned to this group automatically and will have all of the Team roles. If you edit a team, the changes are applied to users the next time they log in.

First, add a team and add users as team members. Optionally, you can add roles that are applied to all team members.

Once the team's created, you can assign product applications to it.

Every team member receives a notification when:

  • A profile assigned to the team is given an elevated PEPs or sanctions status.

  • A product application assigned to the team becomes in review.

  • A product application assigned to the team is nearing expiry.

  • Someone @mentions the team in a profile's Conversations.

Team members can see applications assigned to them using filtering.

Team members can manage their notification preferences to change the notifications they receive.
