Teams are how you manage your billing and infrastructure on DigitalOcean. When you sign up for DigitalOcean, you are the only member of your default team.
You can work by yourself by remaining the only member of a team. You can also collaborate with others by inviting more members to teams you own. Each team member has one of three team roles (owner, biller, or member) which determines their level of access to the team’s shared resources, billing information, and settings.
Your personal DigitalOcean account is where you manage your team membership and your name, sign-in method, and email subscriptions.
Team members with the biller role can no longer access information about shared resources. Previously, billers could access this information via the API, but not the control panel.
To continue improving collaboration on DigitalOcean, we have begun incrementally converting existing customers’ personal accounts to team accounts.
All new signups on DigitalOcean can now invite teammates immediately upon creating their account.
