Teams

A team is a named group of signed-in people, managed from the Explorer. Each member has a role, either Admin or Member, and every team gets a shared library of diagrams that all members can open and edit. Teams are not a paid tier: livediagram is free and open source, so the roles are about who may manage the team, not about unlocking features.

What a team is

A team has a name and an optional organisation, plus a list of members. The person who creates a team becomes its first Admin. A team is not tied to a single owner, so it carries on even if its creator later leaves.

Teams need a signed-in account because they are keyed to your account identity and invites are matched by email. This is the one part of livediagram that asks you to sign in. The canvas itself always works without an account, and a share link can still be handed to a guest who edits without signing in.

In the Explorer sidebar you will find a Teams section. It lists every team you have joined, with a New team action to create one and an Invites row that shows any invitations waiting for you.

Roles and invites

There are two roles. Admins can invite people, change roles, edit the team, remove members, and delete the team. Members can see the team and its members and work in the shared library. The last remaining Admin cannot leave or be demoted, so a team always has someone in charge. Promote another member first, or delete the team.

You can add people by email address or by turning on a shareable invite link. See Roles and Invites for the full handshake.

The shared library

Every team has its own folder tree of diagrams, shown as a Team diagrams card on the team page. Any joined member can create, rename, duplicate, move, and delete diagrams there, so the work belongs to the whole team rather than to one person. See Team Shared Diagrams for how placement and ownership work.
