A Team in Lugelo is a set of Lugelo user accounts (Sub accounts) that are linked to and managed by a Parent Lugelo user account.
You can create a team for children (under the age of 18) or one for adults.
When you activate the Team feature and select the Child team type you can create child Lugelo user accounts that have access to a set of limited Lugelo features appropriate for children. See section below for restrictions that apply.
When you activate the Team feature and select the Adult team type, you can invite adult users to access and collaborate with you on an exclusive set of Journals.
Child teams are useful in cases where you need full control over the features and content in Lugelo that child accounts (Team members) can access. This is similar in principle to the Parental controls on TVs etc.
