Your team is now active and members can start using IBM Bob within the spending limits you defined.
Managing team members
You can add or remove team members at any time:
- Users can be assigned to teams when you invite them to your organization.

Monitoring team spending

Premium package availability
The team view shows which premium packages are available to the team and how many seats are allocated. To assign or remove premium packages for individual users in a team, see Managing premium packages.
Managing users and roles
Add users to your IBM Bob Enterprise organization, assign roles, manage seat allocation, and assign premium packages.
Managing identity providers
Configure custom identity providers (IdPs) for SAML or OIDC single sign-on so that your organization's users can authenticate with their existing corporate credentials.
