Team vs Individual Accounts

Security Considerations
Access Control
- Only owners can add/remove members
- Members have limited capabilities
- All actions are logged in audit trail
When Someone Leaves
- Remove them from the team immediately
- Review recent activity in audit log
- Update any shared credentials if applicable
Principle of Least Privilege
- Grant minimum necessary access
- Use Member role when full access isn't needed
- Review and adjust roles as needs change
