Central administration and policy enforcements

There are 2 levels of administration at TeamDrive:

The global administration level covers, among other things, the following aspects:

  • User management (new registration etc.)
  • Allocation and management of storage space
  • Management of TeamDrive user licenses
  • Security settings (use of the web app, local data encryption, 2FA, etc.)
  • Settings for the behavior of the TeamDrive app
  • Network and hosting settings
  • Settings for your TeamDrive account

Once you have purchased a TeamDrive license, you will have access to a web-based administration interface to set the aforementioned aspects.

The access rights settings can be defined in fine detail for each user individually or for entire user groups. This is often particularly relevant for the implementation of compliance guidelines in companies.

As a TeamDrive administrator or TeamDrive account manager, who is usually located in the IT department of a company, you do not automatically have access to or insight into the data stored in the TeamDrive Spaces.

You cannot see the contents of the files in the spaces, which members a space has or who has carried out which activities in it. You won’t even be able to see the names of the files or the file folders from the outside unless you are a member of this space and have the appropriate access rights.

However, companies can specify for their TeamDrive account that an administrator, data protection officer or compliance manager is always a mandatory member of each or a specific space. However, fine-grained access rights can also be set for such a member.
