Learn how to invite people to teams and boards, understand the difference between personal teams and actual teams, and how to upgrade to enable team collaboration.
Infa supports two types of teams: personal teams and actual teams. Boards belong to teams, and the type of team determines whether you can invite team members.
Every user has a personal team by default. Boards created in your personal workspace belong to your personal team. These boards:
Are created in your personal workspace
Belong to your personal team (have team_id: null in the database)
Cannot have team members added - they are private to you
Are ideal for individual work, research, or personal design system documentation

Actual Teams
Actual teams are created with Create Team in your dashboard, which starts a 14-day free trial of the Team plan. Boards created within an actual team enable collaboration. These boards:
Belong to an actual team (team_id is set)
Can have multiple collaborators with different permission levels
Support inviting team members as viewers or editors
To enable team collaboration and invite people to boards, you need a Team plan. Your first team starts with a 14-day free trial (one team trial per account), and after the trial the plan is billed per editor seat. See Teams for pricing and seat management.
