Miro Teams

What is a Miro Team?

Need to create a team workspace in Miro? Use the following form:

Request Miro Team creation

A Team in Miro is a shared workspace where members can collaborate, create, and store their boards and Spaces. Teams can be as large or small as needed, such as a department, class, or even a college.

Teams are also where permissions can be defined for Boards created within a Team, such as to specify how Boards can be shared. Miro users can be members of multiple teams. All internal users are added to the 'Miro All Staff And Students' Team.

Who can create teams:

  • Staff
  • Visiting staff, and
  • Postgraduate students

Please note: Postgraduate students must ask a staff member to fill out the form on their behalf.

If you're in Edinburgh College of Art please see the information in the following link below.

Team Settings

Team settings are defined by the template used on creation of the team. Only Team Administrators can make changes to the Team settings.

Please see Miro's documentation

Miro Team Settings Documentation


For streamlined team creation, we offer a range of templates with standardized settings. While team admins have control over certain settings, others require intervention from a Miro Company Administrator. Please consider your team's purpose and future use case when selecting a template, although settings may be changed once the template has been selected. For changing settings that only a team administrator can change please visit Miro documentation.

How to manage team permission

Here's a brief overview of each template:

  • Internal Collaboration Template: Perfect for internal projects, allowing seamless communication and collaboration within our organization.
  • External Collaboration Template: Tailored for collaborations with external stakeholders, clients, or partners, ensuring secure collaboration with privacy and access controls.
  • Confidential Collaboration Template: Ideal for sensitive projects requiring heightened confidentiality. By default access is restricted to users with a University of Edinburgh account. Additional external domains can be provided for collaboration with outside parties when using the team creation request form.
  • Public View Template: Designed for sharing content publicly while limiting editing capabilities, ideal for showcasing information to a wider audience while maintaining control over modifications.
  • Public Edit Template: Geared towards collaborative sessions like workshops, facilitating real-time editing and contribution by multiple participants. Suitable for agile brainstorming and co-creation.

Note: If sharing publicly, boards will require a separate password for access to maintain security.
