Everything you run in Buzz belongs to a **team**. A team is the group of people who organise events together, such as a company, a community, or a meetup crew.

## How teams work

- **Every event belongs to one team.** Everyone on that team can see the event. What they can change depends on their role.
- **People join a team with a role.** The role decides what they can do across all of the team's events.
- **You can be on more than one team.** Each membership has its own role.
- **Attendees don't need a team.** People who book tickets, submit talks or enquire about sponsorships only need a Buzz account, and sometimes not even that.

When you're on a team, Buzz opens on your team's **Events** list. Without a team, it opens on your own bookings.

:::note[Getting a team]
Your site administrator creates teams. Whoever creates a team becomes its **Owner**. After that, the Owner and Admins add everyone else. See [Add team members](/buzz/add-team-members).

On [buzz.events](https://buzz.events), a custom script creates a team for you automatically when you sign up, and makes you its Owner.

## Roles

| Role | What they can do |
| --- | --- |
| **Owner** | Created the team. Full control, and cannot be removed. |
| **Admin** | Everything an owner can do, except deleting the team. |
| **Manager** | Creates and edits events. Cannot delete records or manage members. |
| **Frontdesk** | Checks attendees in at the door, and nothing else. |
| **Viewer** | Reads the team's events and details. Changes nothing. |

Only Owners and Admins can add members, change roles, or remove people. Frontdesk is the role that opens the [check-in scanner](/buzz/check-in).

## Team settings

Open **Settings → Teams** from the menu under your name, then pick a team.

- **Team name and logo.** The logo shows wherever the team appears.
- **Support email.** Replies to every email your team sends go here. Set it from **Announcements → Email settings** on any event.
