Teams allows you to group projects under an organisational entity, such as a department, agency, working group etc. Assigning a project to a specific Team will allow team-based reporting that shows aggregated results of all projects contained within the Team.
Team Lead is another specific user type that has the admin rights over the projects assigned to their 'Team'. Their permissions include the ability to assign site users to projects
with specific project user roles (e.g., Project Lead, Project Author).
Team Page functions as a site sub-page assigned to a specific team, here your team can edit the page to showcase projects and include team related information.
Team Leads are a special type of user
role that grants administrative permissions to a User for all projects
assigned to that team.

- Select on the target username to open the User Profile
- Under the Access section, select the Select Team that appears next to the Team heading
- Tick the checkbox and confirm by selecting the check button to assign to the User as a Team Lead.
Any User can be assigned to the Team Lead role.
