# Team accounts setup
A team account is **a shared workspace** **where multiple users can collaborate**. This setup is ideal for companies and teams using GetBlock services.
**Key benefits:**
* **Organized collaboration:** Work together on company resources.
* **Enhanced security:** Role-based access limits each member to only the features they need.
* **Efficient management:** Easily switch between personal and team accounts.
A **team account user** is a regular GetBlock user. When invited to a team, they can work on company resources, manage service plans or team settings, provided the corresponding permissions are granted.
***

### **Best practices for team security**
* Regularly review and **audit permissions**. Revoke access for users who are no longer active.
* Grant admin privileges only to **trusted team members**.
* Give Members **only the necessary permissions** (e.g., endpoints access or subscriptions management).
* Never **share login credentials**—use team accounts instead.
