Teams
Use W&B Teams as a central workspace for your ML team to build better models faster.
- Track all the experiments your team has tried so you never duplicate work.
- Save and reproduce previously trained models.
- Share progress and results with your boss and collaborators.
- Catch regressions and immediately get alerted when performance drops.
- Benchmark model performance and compare model versions.
Create a collaborative team
- Sign up or log in to your free W&B account.
- Click Invite Team in the navigation bar.
- Create your team and invite collaborators.
Note: Only the admin of an organization can create a new team.
Create a Team Profile
You can customize your team's profile page to show an introduction and showcase reports and projects that are visible to the public or team members. Present reports, projects, and external links.
- Highlight your best research to visitors by showcasing your best public reports
- Showcase the most active projects to make it easier for teammates to find them
- Find collaborators by adding external links to your company or research lab's website and any papers you've published
Remove Team members
Team admins can open the team settings page and click the delete button next to the departing member's name. Any runs that they logged to the team will remain after a user is removed.
Team Roles and Permissions
Select a team role when you invite colleagues to join a team. There are four team role options:
Admin: Team admins can add and remove other admins or team members. They have permissions to modify all projects and full deletion permissions. This includes, but is not limited to, deleting runs, projects, artifacts, and sweeps.
Member: A regular member of the team. A team member is invited by email by the team admin. A team member cannot invite other members. Team members can only delete runs and sweep runs created by that member. Suppose you have two members A and B. Member B moves a Run from team B's project to a different project owned by Member A. Member A can not delete the Run Member B moved to Member A's project. Only the member that creates the Run, or the team admin, can delete the run.
Service (Enterprise-only feature): A service worker, an API key useful for using W&B with your run automation tools. If you use the API key from a service account for your team, make sure to set the environment variable WANDB_USERNAME to attribute runs to the correct user.
View-Only (Enterprise-only feature): View-Only members can view assets within the team such as runs, reports, and workspaces. They can follow and comment on reports, but they can not create, edit, or delete project overview, reports, or runs. View-Only members do not have an API key.

Team Trials
W&B offers free trials for business teams, no credit card required. During the trial, you and your colleagues will have access to all the features in W&B. Once the trial is over, you can upgrade your plan to continue using a W&B Team to collaborate. Your personal W&B account will always remain free, and if you're a student or teacher you can enroll in an academic plan.
See the pricing page for more information on our plans. You can download all your data at any time, either using the dashboard UI or via our Export API.

Advanced Configuration
Secure Storage Connector
The team-level secure storage connector allows teams to use their own cloud storage bucket with W&B. This provides greater data access control and data isolation for teams with highly sensitive data or strict compliance requirements.
This feature is only available for Google Cloud Storage buckets and Amazon S3 buckets. Only enterprise teams can use this feature. To learn more about enterprise plans, please contact us at support@wandb.com
To provision a cloud storage bucket, we recommend using our secure storage connector terraform module for AWS or GCP.
A cloud storage bucket can be configured only once for a team at the time of team creation. Select External Storage when you create a team to configure a cloud storage bucket. Select your provider and fill out your bucket name and storage encryption key ID, if applicable, and select Create Team.
An error or warning will appear at the bottom of the page if there are issues accessing the bucket or the bucket has invalid settings.
Only organization administrators have the permissions to configure the secure storage connector. The same cloud storage bucket can be used amongst multiple teams by selecting an existing cloud storage bucket from the dropdown.
