Contributor Use resources AND share own resources with the team
Manager Manage members, invite users, view Observable activity

  • Typically new members start as Members
  • Owners or Managers can change your role later

Your First Steps as a Team Member

  • Review available datasets
  • Understand team workflows

2. Connect with Your Team

  • Introduce yourself to team members
  • Ask about team workflows and expectations
  • Learn how the team uses shared resources

3. Get Oriented

  • Read team documentation
  • Ask team managers about best practices
  • Understand team-specific guidelines

Viewing Your Teams

Leaving a Team

How to Leave
