Visibility of Atlassian teams information

When you create an Atlassian team, users will be able to find and see this team. Who can see Atlassian teams?

This includes:

• TeamID

• Team membership

• Team description

• Team profile cards

• Team profile page

People in your organization can:

• see if your team is included in @mentions

• assign issues to your team

• find your team in search results

For users outside your organization, no information about your team will be shown except for the team name in some rare instances (such as when it’s included in a public project or document).

Users with access only to open sites can't use Atlassian teams

Some Atlassian sites are configured as ‘open sites’, meaning anyone on the internet can join and work with your projects or pages without admin approval. Anyone who has public or anonymous access to your apps won’t see anything about your team, except in rare scenarios, such as when it’s included in a public project or document.

This is to prevent the potential leak of information about users and teams to anyone on the internet. We recommend configuring your site settings so that it's not open to anyone on the internet without admin approval.

For Advanced Roadmaps users, there are additional limitations on teams use in place.
