# Teams

> **Note:** *This feature is available on the StackHawk [Scale plan](https://www.stackhawk.com/pricing).*

Teams in StackHawk help you organize users, applications, and their scans. By creating a Team, you’re grouping the people who own specific applications and are responsible for testing them. This structure ensures clear ownership, making it easier to manage testing, review results, and take action on any findings.

Teams also define which users can access specific applications and their test results. Members of a Team can only view and manage the applications and scans assigned to that Team, while unassigned applications remain accessible to all users. This setup keeps access focused, prevents unauthorized modifications, and allows Teams to concentrate on the applications they are responsible for.

## Key Concepts

| Concept | Detail |
| - | - |
| **Visibility** | Owners, Admins, and View Only users see all Teams, Applications, Environments, and Scans. Team Admins and Members see the Teams they belong to |
| **Management** | Owners and Admins can create, modify, and delete any Team. Team Admins can modify the Teams they belong to |
| **Unassigned Apps** | Applications not in a Team are visible to all users |
| **One Team per App** | Each application belongs to one Team at a time |

To maintain clarity and control over application testing, take time to organize your Applications by creating Teams and assigning Members. Members can only access the Applications and Scans within their assigned Teams or any Applications that have not yet been assigned to a Team.

You can assign an application to a Team from the **Team** column on the Applications page, from the **Team** field in **Application Settings → General**, or by adding it to a Team on the Team edit page.
