To use lab management features, you must create a team area, and add members to that particular team area for that permission to be given for team operations. These operations include these tasks:

That team area is used to determine whether a user has permission to perform any of the operations even though the user does not have permission to perform the corresponding project-level operation. Team areas (and the associated permissions) are only required if both of the following conditions are true:
