Feature request

Make it possible to create sub-teams or projects in a main team which share resources and membership.

Use case

When in a Team that exists for a longer time - think of a real organizational department - it might make a lot of sense to create sub-teams for smaller projects.

Properties

Projects should:

• be visibly grouped under the team (visible on the team page and in the Teams app)
• be accessible to all members of the top level team
• Follow member permissions and roles from the top level team
• not allow further sub-groups to avoid/limit complexity

Open questions

Lots more thoughts probably needed here:

• what happens when you invite someone from a different team just to a project? What resources and permissions do they get?
• Can you have more permissions in a project than in a team, for example, view-only on team but read-write on the project?

Plenty to discuss.

MVP

Marco had an idea for an MVP which would 'just' have the project/sub-team be a team created with all team members and view modified to show it under the main team.

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing how teams, membership, roles, permissions, and the Teams app are currently represented, then resolve the open questions about invited members and differing permissions before defining the MVP; done means a decided, implementable project/sub-team design.
