# Team permission
### Membership permissions controls
The privacy settings of a team determine who can access the team and its [public-to-team](/en-us/fundamentals/project/project-permission.md) projects.
If somebody belongs to a team, they have access to all public-to-team projects within that team. Organization guests must belong to a team to access its public-to-team projects and team messages.
If they do not belong to a team, they cannot access that team, nor can they request to join it, regardless of the team's permission settings.
| Team | Can be found | Can request to join | Accessible by |
| --------------------- | ---------------------- | ---------------------- | ------------- |
| Membership by request | Yes (excluding guests) | Yes (excluding guests) | Team member |
| Private team | No | No | Team member |
> The private team option is only available for CreatiBI's Business plan and above.
### How to identify a team's permissions settings
To identify who belongs to a team in CreatiBI and who can see its projects, you must access its "**Team Settings"**.
**To access Team Settings:**
From the sidebar, click on the team name, then click on the "**Manage members**" button.
### Who can access a team?
You need to become a team member before accessing the team page.
#### Membership by request
Before someone can access public-to-team projects and team messages, their request to join must be approved by an active team member or a team admin. You can see the full list of team members from the "**Members"** tab of the "**Team settings"**.
**To request to join a team:**
1. Scroll to the bottom of the sidebar and select "**Browse teams";**
2. Locate a team you want to join and click "**Request to Join".**
#### Private team
Only team members can access a private team. You can view the complete list of team members from the "**Members**" tab in "**Team settings**".
The only way to gain access to a **private** team is by being invited by a member of that team.
> Users cannot discover private teams they don't have access to, and therefore cannot request to join or even see a private team in their sidebar.
### How to limit access to a team
There are four ways to limit access to a membership:
* **"Deny"** someone's request to join the team;
* "**Remove an existing team member**" - removing someone from membership will remove their access to all of that team's projects and messages.
* **"Change to a private team"** - changing to a private team means other organization members will no longer be able to find and request to join that team from the sidebar.
* "**Require team admin approval**" - a [team admin](/en-us/fundamentals/team/team-setting/team-admin-and-member.md) can require that any invitations to the team must first be approved. This is available only to CreatiBI's [Business plan](https://creatibi.com/) and above.
