How to Create Teams

Use Teams to securely collaborate on projects with unlimited users, two-factor authentication, and all of your projects on a single bill.


To create a team account, log in to the DigitalOcean Control Panel. Click the arrow in the top right next to your account avatar to open the user profile drop-down menu, then click Create a team.

Note
If you don’t see the Create a team button in the user profile drop-down menu, verify that your account has a valid payment method, then refresh the page.
