Teams

Teams is an Enterprise feature

Teams is available to customers on an Enterprise plan. To learn more, read about our pricing. To upgrade your plan, contact Sales.

A team is a group of members in your LaunchDarkly account. A team can have maintainers who are able to add and remove team members. It also can have custom roles assigned to it that allows shared access to those roles for all team members. To learn more, read Teams.

The Teams API allows you to create, read, update, and delete a team.

Several of the endpoints in the Teams API require one or more member IDs. The member ID is returned as part of the List account members response. It is the _id field of each element in the items array.

List teams

Return a list of teams.

By default, this returns the first 20 teams. Page through this list with the limit parameter and by following the first, prev, next, and last links in the _links field that returns. If those links do not appear, the pages they refer to don't exist. For example, the first and prev links will be missing from the response on the first page, because there is no previous page and you cannot return to the first page when you are already on the first page.

Filtering teams

LaunchDarkly supports the following fields for filters:

  • query is a string that matches against the teams' names and keys. It is not case-sensitive.
    • A request with query:abc returns teams with the string abc in their name or key.
  • nomembers is a boolean that filters the list of teams who have 0 members
    • A request with nomembers:true returns teams that have 0 members
    • A request with nomembers:false returns teams that have 1 or more members

Expanding the teams response

LaunchDarkly supports expanding several fields in the "List teams" response. By default, these fields are not included in the response.

To expand the response, append the expand query parameter and add a comma-separated list with any of the following fields:

  • members includes the total count of members that belong to the team.
  • maintainers includes a paginated list of the maintainers that you have assigned to the team.

For example, expand=members,maintainers includes the members and maintainers fields in the response.

Request
query Parameters
limit
integer <int64>

The number of teams to return in the response. Defaults to 20.

offset

Where to start in the list. Use this with pagination. For example, an offset of 10 skips the first ten items and returns the next limit items.

A comma-separated list of filters. Each filter is constructed as field:value.

Add multiple members to team

Add multiple members to an existing team by uploading a CSV file of member email addresses. Your CSV file must include email addresses in the first column. You can include data in additional columns, but LaunchDarkly ignores all data outside the first column. Headers are optional. To learn more, read Manage team members.

Members are only added on a 201 response. A 207 indicates the CSV file contains a combination of valid and invalid entries. A 207 results in no members being added to the team.

On a 207 response, if an entry contains bad input, the message field contains the row number as well as the reason for the error. The message field is omitted if the entry is valid.

Example 207 response:

{
  "items": [
    {
      "status": "success",
      "value": "new-team-member@acme.com"
    },
    {
      "message": "Line 2: empty row",
      "status": "error",
      "value": ""
    },
    {
      "message": "Line 3: email already exists in the specified team",
      "status": "error",
      "value": "existing-team-member@acme.com"
    },
    {
      "message": "Line 4: invalid email formatting",
      "status": "error",
      "value": "invalid email format"
    }
  ]
}
Message Resolution
Empty row This line is blank. Add an email address and try again.
Duplicate entry This email address appears in the file twice. Remove the email from the file and try again.
Email already exists in the specified team This member is already on your team. Remove the email from the file and try again.
Invalid formatting This email address is not formatted correctly. Fix the formatting and try again.
Email does not belong to a LaunchDarkly member The email address doesn't belong to a LaunchDarkly account member. Invite them to LaunchDarkly, then re-add them to the team.

On a 400 response, the message field may contain errors specific to this endpoint.

Example 400 response:

{
  "code": "invalid_request",
  "message": "Unable to process file"
}
Message Resolution
Unable to process file LaunchDarkly could not process the file for an unspecified reason. Review your file for errors and try again.
File exceeds 25mb Break up your file into multiple files of less than 25mbs each.
All emails have invalid formatting None of the email addresses in the file are in the correct format. Fix the formatting and try again.
All emails belong to existing team members All listed members are already on this team. Populate the file with member emails that do not belong to the team and try again.
File is empty The CSV file does not contain any email addresses. Populate the file and try again.
No emails belong to members of your LaunchDarkly organization None of the email addresses belong to members of your LaunchDarkly account. Invite these members to LaunchDarkly, then re-add them to the team.
