# How to create a Team?
## Creating a team in Proqio enables effective collaboration and management. You need to create a team to restrict users' rights to specific Sites or Groups of instruments. Follow this guide to set up your team efficiently.
1. **Click on Create a team:** Creating a team means setting up a new group of people within a system or organization for collaboration or project work. In Teams and Members settings, click the "Create Team" option.
2. **Enter the team’s name and mention a description:** Type the name you want to assign to a new team and describe your team by clicking the description option.
3. **Choose the color:** Select the color palette to give a color theme for your team.
4. **Click on the create:** Once all details are entered, click the "Create" button to finalize the team creation process.
5. Once the team is created, add **sites or groups** and **members** to that team to assign **desired permissions**.
**Important clarification about team access logic**
Adding a user to a team does not automatically grant them access to any Site within your project.
For a user to access a specific Site or Group of instruments, two conditions must be met:
1. The Site or Group must be assigned to the team.
2. The user must be added to that same team.
Access permissions are controlled through the combination of team membership and the Sites or Groups assigned to that team. If either of these steps is missing, the user will not have access to the desired data.
