💬 Why is this topic important?
ValueStreamer uses clearly defined terms for roles, functions, and structures. A shared understanding is essential for efficient cross-team collaboration and correct use of features.
🔓 Public vs. Private Teams
Public Teams

❓ FAQ
What’s the difference between a User and a Team Member?
→ A team member has write rights in the assigned team; a regular user does not necessarily.
Can I see which teams are private?
→ Yes, in the cascade as a symbol – but without access to content.
Why do I see content from other teams?
→ The team is either public, or the content has been cascaded to you.
