Resources, such as users, integrators, asset groups, place groups, and driver groups can be managed in teams through the Teams module to handle access permissions more efficiently.
A resource group can be linked with teams. A team is a user group. When a resource group is linked with a team, then the resources such as assets, drivers, and places are linked with users. A team cannot be linked with resources such as assets, places, and drivers directly. Only users and <integrators> can be assigned directly to teams. Resource groups can be assigned to multiple teams.
Access to a parent group also grants access to its child groups. For example, when a resource group is linked with a team, then access to all the resources of the group is granted to users of the team. The access to all the resources of the subgroup is also granted to users of the team.
In an organization, the groups are restructured to follow all the resources. An administrator can group assets, places, and drivers to organize the workforce within SCALAR. The administrator can select, filter, and configure the groups.
- Maximum of 250 teams can be created in an organization
- Maximum of 25 teams can be followed by a user or an integrator
- Maximum of 100 groups and subgroups can be assigned to a team
- A user can follow 25 (teams) x 100 (groups + subgroups) x 5000 (resources) = 12500 K maximum resources (for example, 12500 K assets, 12500 K places and 12500 K drivers)

Teams for integrators
Assets can be leased to multiple clients, which introduces the potential risk of exposing sensitive information to unauthorized users while sharing data across these clients. The Teams for Integrators feature provides a granular level of data access, ensuring that integrators can only access information related to assets groups assigned to their respective teams. This approach maintains confidentiality and prevents inadvertent data breaches. By restricting integrators to accessing only data relevant to their assigned asset groups, this feature ensures data privacy and strengthens security.
After assigning users, integrators, asset groups, driver groups, and place groups to the team, the total number of resources assigned to the team are displayed in the Assigned section on the Team information page.
A maximum of 5000 resources can be assigned to a resource group including to its subgroups.
