Managing teams

Overview

This topic explains how to manage team members in LaunchDarkly.

Manage team members

If you have an Admin role, you are a maintainer of the team, or you have the required team permissions, you can add and remove team members from new and existing teams.

Add a member to an existing team

If you have an existing team and you want to add a member to it:

1. Click the gear icon in the left sidenav to view Organization settings.
2. Click Teams.
3. Click on the name of a team to navigate to that team’s page. The team’s Team members tab appears.
4. Click Add members. The “Add members” dialog appears.
5. Select the members to add to the team.
6. Click Add members.

You can also use the REST API: Add a member to teams, Update a team

Add members to a team from the Members dashboard

To add members to an existing team:

1. Click the gear icon in the left sidenav to view Organization settings.

2. Click Members.

3. Select the checkbox to the left of a member’s name to choose that member.

4. Select all the members that you want to add to the teams. Next to the Export CSV button, another button appears. It is labeled Edit N members, where N is the number of members that you selected.

   • Alternatively, if you wish to select all the members, click the checkbox next to the “Name” column in the table.

   

5. Click the Edit N members button and select the “Add to teams” option. A modal appears.

6. Select one or multiple teams from the input field and then click Add members to teams. LaunchDarkly attempts to add each of the selected members to the selected teams.

When you select all members, the number of members may not match the number of members that appears at the top of the Members tab. This happens because you cannot perform bulk edit actions on yourself or the Owner of the account.

Add members in bulk to an existing team from a CSV

You can add multiple members to an existing team by uploading a CSV file of member email addresses. Your CSV file must include email addresses in the first column. You can include data in additional columns, but LaunchDarkly ignores all data outside the first column. Headers are optional.

To upload a CSV file:

1. Click the gear icon in the left sidenav to view Organization settings.

2. Click Teams.

3. Click on the name of the team you want to add members to. The team’s Team members tab appears.

4. Click Upload CSV. The “Upload CSV” dialog appears:

   

5. Click Select file. A prompt to choose a file appears.

6. Choose a CSV file. You are returned to the “Upload CSV” dialog.

7. Click Upload file.

A success indicator appears with the number of team members successfully added to your team.

You can also use the REST API: Add multiple members to team

If the file upload was not successful, an error message appears with information about the errors in the file.

There are two types of CSV file upload errors:

• Global errors are errors at the file level preventing LaunchDarkly from processing the file.
• Line errors are errors on one or more individual lines in your CSV file.

Troubleshoot global errors

Global errors mean that something is wrong at the file level preventing LaunchDarkly from processing the file. You must resolve the errors in your file and try uploading again.

This table includes a list of global errors and how to resolve them:

Troubleshoot line errors

Line errors mean that something is wrong with one or more individual lines in your CSV file. You can either add only the valid entries from your CSV file, or upload a new file.

This table includes a list of line errors and how to resolve them:

Remove a member from a team

Members of your organization can belong to multiple teams.

To view the teams that a member belongs to:

1. Click the gear icon in the left sidenav to view Organization settings.

3. Filter the list of members for the member you’re looking for.
4. The “Teams” column lists the teams the members belong to. There may be additional teams in the overflow menu. Click the overflow menu to view the Teams tab on that member’s page. It has a complete list of that member’s teams, and indicates if the member is a team maintainer for any team.
