What’s a Case Team?

View supported editions.

If your admin has set up case teams, you can add people to the Case Team related list on cases. When adding a team member, choose one of the predefined roles that the person plays on the case. Roles determine the level of access to a case, such as read-only or read and write access.

You can add contacts to case teams, but they can only access cases when they’re enabled as customer portal users assigned to case page layouts. Customer portal users can’t update case teams or view case team roles. Case teams aren’t available for the partner portal.

Admins can predefine case teams so that you can quickly add people who you frequently work with. Admins can create assignment rules that add predefined teams to cases that match specific criteria. Admins can also create email alerts that notify team members when an action happens on a case.
