Understanding the Team members section
Under the Team members tab, you’ll find a search bar at the top that you can use to search for or add team members. At the far right of the search bar is an Add team members person icon, which you can click to add new members to your team.
Note: There's a limit of 10,000 team members maximum allowed in one team (of which 200 can be guests). If a team's member count reaches the limit, users won't be able to add more people.
Below the search bar is a list of all existing team members. Team admins will appear at the top of the list with an orange Admin badge beside the user’s name.
When you hover over a team member's name, a series of icons appear at the far right. Clicking any of these icons will perform an associated action. Available actions depend on permissions.

You can perform various actions from the team profile.
