Manage which records team members have visibility of using team management. Teams allow admins to restrict or allow user visibility to certain records based on the owner field for all users on a team. Team-to-team reporting creates a hierarchy for increased record visibility for Team Leaders to manage multiple teams.

Visibility settings control which records team members can see and edit; whether its deals, companies or people. Visibility is controlled at the team level allowing collaboration among team leaders and members. Refer to the Pipeline Knowledge Base article if you’re using Company Ownership.

Team hierarchy

Create a team hierarchy using 'Reports to' and take advantage of the team to team reporting. Team Leaders already have visibility to their Team Members' records. Leader's visibility extends to the teams that report up, creating user team hierarchy. This allows Team Leaders to effectively manage multiple teams with increased visibility.

Below is a diagram of the team to team reporting, where both the "Atlantic" and "Pacific" teams report to the "National" sales teams. The "National" Team Leader has visibility to all team member's records in this entire organizational chart.
