Control access to transfers and portals with Teamspaces

To control the transfers that users can access, you can add or remove them from a Teamspace:

  • Member users cannot access transfers in Teamspaces they aren’t assigned to.
  • You can assign a user to more than one Teamspace, or none at all.
  • All Member users can access transfers that aren’t associated with a Teamspace.
  • Anyone can upload files to a portal assigned to a Teamspace, but only the Teamspace users can download these files.
  • Owners and Admins can always access any Teamspace in the team, whether or not they are assigned to it.
  • Integration Manager users can’t access transfers in Teamspaces or the team.

    Delete a teamspace

    You can delete a teamspace that you no longer need. Before deleting, keep these things in mind:

    • Deleting a teamspace does not delete the users, transfers, or portals associated with it.
    • Transfers that were associated with the deleted teamspace become accessible to all users on the team.
    • New uploads to a portal that was assigned to the deleted teamspace will belong to the team—any user in the team can access. Consider assigning the portal to another teamspace to control access.
    • Transfer History and exported CSV files will not show the deleted teamspace for transfers.

    ⚠️  Deleting a teamspace cannot be undone.

    ⚠️ Transfers that were associated with the deleted teamspace are no longer associated with a teamspace, making them accessible to all users on the team.
