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 methods. Bringing in the ability to manage operations other users can do on the project(s). The Director page has a Users and Roles and a drop-down menu to select the projects as shown in the image below.
