# Teams

Teams are groups of users in Valtimo. They can be used to organize users and manage their access to resources. A team has a unique key, a title, and a list of members.

## Use cases

* **Case assignment**: Cases (documents) can be assigned to teams. This allows all members of the team to see and manage the case.
* **Access control**: Teams can be used in access control rules to grant or deny access to resources based on team membership.

## Access control

The following resources and actions are available for managing teams and their members.
