Manage teams in the Admin Center
The Teams tab lists every team your organization owns. You can add a team, rename it, change member roles and names, or delete it. Adding people to a team happens elsewhere.

What does the table show?
Columns are Team, Members Count and Members, plus a gear (Settings) and a trash icon (Delete). A green dot marks the team you are currently working in; others are grey. Use Search by name to filter.
How do I create a team?
- Click Add Team.
- Enter a Team Name in the Create New Team drawer.
- Click Create.
If you already created a team with that name, Worklenz refuses it. To add people, go to Settings > Team members; see create a new team.
How do I rename a team or change roles?
- Click the gear icon on the team’s row.
- Edit Team Name.
- In the members table, choose Admin or Member for each person. Click a name to rename the person.
- Click Update. Nothing is saved before that.
The Owner’s role is locked (“Owner role cannot be changed”) and so are pending invitations. Team Lead is not offered here. Renaming a person changes their name on their account everywhere, not just in this team.
How do I delete a team?
Click the trash icon and confirm Are you sure?. Deletion is permanent. It is blocked, with a message, if:
| Message | Fix |
|---|---|
| ”Unable to remove the presently active team!” | Switch to another team first |
| ”Unable to delete team” (a user has it active) | Ask those users to switch teams |
| The team still has project folders | Remove the folders, then retry |
What happens to the team’s projects is not documented. Treat deletion as irreversible and export what you need first.
Example
Priya, an Admin, creates a team called “Design” and later tries to delete it. Worklenz refuses because a teammate still has it selected as their active team. Once that teammate switches, the deletion goes through.
Best practices
- Switch to another team before deleting, because the active team cannot be removed.
- Rename people with care, because the new name shows across every team they are in.
- Click Update before closing the drawer, because edits are discarded otherwise.
