What is teaming in Director?
This feature allows multiple Director users to work on the same project. This feature has been developed keeping in mind the team-oriented development activities. This brings in the ability to manage the operations that other users can perform on the project(s). The Director page contains Users and Roles option to manage users in a project. Also, a user can be part of multiple projects. To switch between different projects, the drop-down near the project section can be used (encircled in the image).
This feature is enabled for Kubera Standard and Kubera Enterprise users.

- 1: Setting the value to 1 disables teaming feature, i.e no members can be added to the project.
