Teams and Accounts¶
The Uffizzi Team and Account model is tightly coupled with the GitHub Organization and Account model. For example...
When you create a new account with Uffizzi, you are creating a personal account from your GitHub Personal Account. Your Uffizzi personal account is always named after your GitHub Personal Account. You cannot disassociate your Uffizzi personal account from your GitHub Personal Account. If you sign in to Uffizzi with different GitHub Personal Accounts, they will will not be merged, i.e. you will have two separate Uffizzi personal accounts.
A Uffizzi personal account may also be a Member of one or more Team accounts.
When you create a Team on Uffizzi, you are creating a it from a GitHub Organizational Account. Your Team is always named after your GitHub Organization. You cannot disassociate your Team account from your GitHub Organizational Account.
