      Teams: Organize users and devices into teams for better control

      Users and devices in Safetica are organized into teams that can be used in policies and filters for more granular control.

      Introduction

      Teams allow you to organize and manage users and devices and apply different policies to them. This way, you can customize data protection for different departments that have different data security and compliance needs. For example, you might have stricter policies for departments that handle sensitive data compared to departments that don't.

      ✍️Learn how to use your teams in policies here.

       

      Manage teams

      Teams can be managed in the Users > Teams tab, where you can see all the teams you created or synced from Active Directory or Entra ID. You can:

      • Create teams and add members to them. Learn more here.
      • Delete teams and remove members from them. Learn more here.
      • Click the Synchronize Entra ID security groups link to sync security groups. Learn more here.

       

      Teams tree structure

      ❗Teams synced from Active Directory and Entra ID are highlighted with a blue tree icon and cannot be edited in any way (can't be removed, moved, renamed, and you can't add/remove users, devices, or child teams).

      ✍️By default, a newly installed Safetica comes with empty Active Directory and Unknown teams and Demo group team filled with demo data.

      Teams are displayed in a hierarchical tree structure. In the columns, you can see at first sight the summary info about them:

      • Child teams column: Displays the number of direct child teams (not all teams in the subtree).
      • Users column: displays the number of all users in the subtree.
      • Devices column: displays the number of all devices in the subtree.
