# How to Create a Sub-Team

## Overview
A sub-team is simply a team that sits under another team. There's no separate "sub-team" object — you create a normal team and choose a **Parent Team** for it. This is useful for mirroring a nested structure, such as regions containing stores, or a department containing squads. Parent teams apply to static Teams.

## How to create a sub-team
1. Go to **Settings → Teams**.
2. Click **Create Team**.
3. On the **Static** tab, enter a **Name**.
4. Under **Parent Team** (optional), search for and select the team this one should sit under.
5. Optionally set a **Primary manager** and **Additional Managers**.
6. Click **Create**.

The new team appears in the Teams list with its parent shown in the **Parent** column.

## Things to keep in mind
* A sub-team is just a team with a **Parent Team** set — there's no distinct sub-team type.
* The **Parent Team** field is available for static Teams. Dynamic Teams don't have a parent team.
* You can nest teams several levels deep.
* You can set or change a team's parent at any time from **Edit Team** — see the **How to Edit a Team** article.
* Renaming a parent team updates the parent-team label shown on its sub-teams.

## FAQs
**What's the difference between a parent team and a sub-team?**
They describe the relationship: the sub-team has its **Parent Team** set to another team, which becomes the parent. A team can be both — a sub-team of one team and the parent of others.

**Can a Dynamic Team be a sub-team?**
No. The parent team field applies to static Teams.

**Can I change a team's parent later?**
Yes. Open the team, choose **Actions → Edit Team**, update the **Parent Team** field, and save.

## Who can do this
**Owners** and **Admins** can create teams, including sub-teams. **Managers**, **People Managers**, **Content Managers**, **Instructors**, **Employees** and **Restricted** users cannot create teams.
