Teams
Teams are shared workspaces that enable groups of users to collaboratively develop and run apps in Tower. By creating a team, you establish a common context where multiple people can access the same Apps, Secrets, and resources.
Overview
When using Tower individually, you work in the context of your personal account. All apps, secrets, and catalogs belong to you. Teams extend this model to support collaboration—when you're part of a team, you can switch between your personal context and any team context you belong to.
Teams provide three key benefits:
- Shared access to apps and their configurations
- Collaborative development with multiple contributors
- Centralized secrets management for secure credential sharing
Teams vs Personal Workspaces
The key differences between team and personal workspaces are:
| Aspect | Personal Workspace | Team Workspace |
|---|---|---|
| Access | Only you | All team members |
| Secrets | Your personal secrets | Team secrets |
| Deployment | Deploy to your account | Deploy to team account |
| Collaboration | Individual | Multiple contributors |
Note: Runs of apps in team accounts use the secrets of the team, not of the user who deployed or ran the app.
