Learn how Better Analyst Teams work — share data, collaborate on analysis, and manage access across your organization.

Better Analyst Teams let you collaborate with colleagues in a shared workspace. Share data, chats, tasks, and connectors so everyone on your team works from the same source of truth.

Teams are available on the **Team** plan ($149/month with 5 people included, $15/month per extra person, and free viewers) and on **Enterprise**, which adds any number of people, SSO, SCIM, full audit export, and contracts. See [Team Billing](https://betteranalyst.com/docs/teams/billing) for a full comparison.

## What You Can Share

When you create content inside a team workspace, the rest of the team can see it:

- **Chats** — Ask questions and run analyses that your whole team can see and build on
- **Files** — Upload spreadsheets, PDFs, and documents to a shared library
- **Data Connectors** — Connect databases and analytics tools once, let everyone query them (note: connector credentials are protected — only the creator can update them)
- **Tasks** — Build reusable analysis workflows the team can run and schedule
- **Reports** — Generate and share write-ups and visualizations
- **Dashboards** — Build web dashboards the whole team can open
- **Data Flows** — Keep a prepared table refreshed in Google Sheets or a database
- **Alerts** — Notify teammates by email or Slack when a metric changes
- **Projects** — Group related chats, dashboards, Data Flows, alerts, and tasks for a client, a team, a campaign, or anything else ([Projects](https://betteranalyst.com/docs/get-started/projects))

A few things are exceptions:

- **Private projects** (Team plan) are seen only by their chosen members, owners, and admins. See [Private projects](https://betteranalyst.com/docs/teams/private-projects).
- **Private chats** use data filtered for one person, so only that person can open them. See [Private chats](https://betteranalyst.com/docs/teams/personal-vs-shared#private-chats).
- **Viewers** see the team's dashboards and nothing else.

Only the person who created a dashboard, Data Flow, alert, or task, or an owner or admin, can change, publish, or delete it. See [Roles & Permissions](https://betteranalyst.com/docs/teams/roles-permissions).

## How Team Workspaces Work

When you join a team, your sidebar splits into two sections:

- **Personal** — Your private workspace, unchanged. Only you can see content here.
- **Team** — Shared workspace for the team, apart from the exceptions above.

You can switch between personal and team contexts using the workspace switcher at the top of the sidebar. Content you create in each section stays in that section.

## Roles

Teams use four roles to control what people can do:

| Role | What They Can Do |
| - | - |
| **Owner** | Full control — settings, members, security, and all content |
| **Admin** | Manage Members and content, but not Admins, roles, single sign-on, or ownership |
| **Member** | Create and view shared content |
| **Viewer** | Open the team's dashboards only. Free and unlimited. Team plan |

See [Roles & Permissions](https://betteranalyst.com/docs/teams/roles-permissions) for the full permissions breakdown.

## Getting Started

1. **Create a team** — Go to your dashboard and create a new team workspace
2. **Invite members** — Send email invites with the appropriate role
3. **Start collaborating** — Create chats, upload files, and connect data sources in the team workspace

Teams require a Team or Enterprise subscription. Teams on a grandfathered Max or Business plan keep working as before. See [Team Billing](https://betteranalyst.com/docs/teams/billing) for pricing details.
