What are Teams?

Teams are a Wordfence Central feature that lets multiple users collaborate and manage websites under a single account. Account owners can create a Team and invite other users onto their Team in order to manage all the sites managed by their account. Team members can start scans, view scan results and security events, and manage the configuration of individual sites and templates in the Team account. Team members can also subscribe to notifications from sites in the Team account. Note: Team members can not purchase licenses, manage billing, or view invoices in the Team account.
