If your Salesforce admin has enabled account teams, the Account Team related list appears on each account. You can add, edit, or remove team members.
Required Editions
| Available in: Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic |
| Available in: Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions |
| User Permissions Needed | |
|---|---|
| To add, edit, or remove account team members: | Read on users AND Edit on accounts AND Account owner or above the owner in the role hierarchy |
| To view accounts as a team member: | Read on accounts |
If you don’t see the Account Team related list, ask your Salesforce admin to enable account teams.
Note Team members may be removed upon account ownership changes based on who
added the account team members. If the account owner is changed, the team members added by
users with group-based access are removed from the team, even if the Keep account
team option is selected. To keep the team members related to the account, they
should be added by a Salesforce admin, the account owner, or someone above the owner in the
role hierarchy.
