# What is a Team on AutoProctor?

> Learn how to create and manage teams on AutoProctor to share billing, pool credits across users, and collaborate on tests with team members.

The Team feature lets multiple users share a single billing account and credit pool. This is ideal for organizations where several people need to create and manage proctored tests without purchasing separate subscriptions.

<Note>
  The Team feature is available only on the **Premium** and **Elite** plans.
</Note>

## What is a Team?

A Team is a group of AutoProctor users (each with their own email address) linked to the same billing account. The primary benefits are:

* **Shared billing and credits** -- Instead of each user paying separately, all team members draw from a common credit pool. Any team member can purchase credits, and the credits are available to everyone on the team.
* **Cost savings** -- Pooling credits across your organization avoids duplicate purchases and lets you take advantage of bulk discounts.
* **Test collaboration** -- You can add team members as [collaborators](/add-collaborators) on your tests. Collaborators can view results, edit Socratease quiz questions, and more.

**Example:** If you are a school, instead of each test creator purchasing their own subscription, you can create a team. One purchase covers everyone, and all test creators share the same credit pool.

## Viewing Team Members

Once you create a team, click on the **Team** link in the sidebar to view the team management page. You see:

* The **team name**
* The **join link** -- any AutoProctor user who visits this link is added to the team
* A button to **leave the team**
* A list of **all team members**
* An **"Admin" tag** next to each team admin

## Team Admin Role

A Team Admin has elevated privileges beyond those of a regular team member:

| Capability                   | Team Admin | Regular Member |
| ---------------------------- | ---------- | -------------- |
| Rename the team              | Yes        | No             |
| Promote members to admin     | Yes        | No             |
| Demote other admins          | Yes        | No             |
| Remove members from the team | Yes        | No             |
| Access billing information   | Yes        | No             |
| View team-wide credit usage  | Yes        | No             |
| Use shared credits for tests | Yes        | Yes            |

<Note>
  Regular team members cannot access billing information or manage other members. If you need billing access, ask an existing Team Admin to promote you.
