Create a Team and Make It Private
Teams are spaces in the Peony sidebar with their own data rooms and files. Create one on Business and above, and make it Private to limit which admins see it.

A team in Peony, a virtual data room for fundraising, M&A and due diligence, is a space in the left sidebar, under Your teams, that holds its own data rooms, folders and files. Use one to split work between admins. Creating a team needs Business+. On Free, the sidebar shows Add more teams with an upgrade badge.
A team organizes your admins. To organize the people who read a room, create a group instead.
Create a Team
- In the left sidebar, click the add icon next to Your teams.
- In the Create a team dialog, enter a name and, if you want, a description.
- Choose who can get in:
- All members: "All members of the workspace can join this team"
- Private: "Only invited workspace members can join this team"
- Click Create. A toast reads Team created.
Add or Remove People in a Private Team
You're a member of a Private team you create. To change who else is in it:
- Open the team and click its name at the top of the page.
- Choose Team members.
- Click Add people and pick an admin. To remove someone, click the remove icon on their row and confirm Remove member?
- Click Done.
You can only add people who are already admins on the workspace. To add a new one, see Invite your team. Team members only appears on Private teams.
Who Can See What
- All members team: every admin on the workspace.
- Private team: its members, plus the workspace Owner, who sees every team whether added or not.
This is how you limit an admin to certain data rooms: put those rooms in a Private team and leave that admin out. To shift a room between teams, use Move.
Change or Delete a Team
Click the team's name at the top of the page. Team settings changes the name, description and access; click Save changes. Delete team warns that it "will permanently delete all team contents for all members and cannot be undone." The workspace's default team has no such menu.
Notes and Limits
- A Private team must keep at least one member. Removing the last one fails with You cannot remove the last member from a private team.
- Teams don't affect your bill. Billing is per admin. See Admin seats.
- Teams don't change what visitors see. That's set in each room's Permissions.
Common Questions
How do I stop one admin from seeing a data room?
Put the room in a Private team and don't add that admin. Members only see the Private teams they belong to. The workspace Owner sees every team.
Is a team the same as a group?
No. A team organizes admins inside your workspace. A group is a set of visitors in a data room's Permissions tab.
Can I create a team on the Free plan?
No. Creating a team needs the Business plan or above.
