# How to switch teams between designer and collaborator

This article covers how to edit the team settings to make a team Designers or Collaborators

Any team with the "Designers" label is a Designer team. Any team without the label is a "Collaborator group". ![Screen Shot 2023-02-28 at 5.16.02 PM.png](https://cdn.document360.io/3d44af5c-3f49-4ca5-b152-10836a885c13/Images/Documentation/Screen%20Shot%202023-02-28%20at%205.16.02%20PM.png)

Here are two teams. Design Engineers is a Designer group and Technicians is a Collaborator group ![Screen Shot 2023-02-28 at 5.13.21 PM.png](https://cdn.document360.io/3d44af5c-3f49-4ca5-b152-10836a885c13/Images/Documentation/Screen%20Shot%202023-02-28%20at%205.13.21%20PM.png)

To edit the settings of an individual team, click on the team name or visit the team page

```

```

If the Permission is set to Administrator Access, the team will count towards the billable Designers total. ![Screen Shot 2023-02-28 at 5.23.14 PM.png](https://cdn.document360.io/3d44af5c-3f49-4ca5-b152-10836a885c13/Images/Documentation/Screen%20Shot%202023-02-28%20at%205.23.14%20PM.png)

If the Permission is set to General Access, the only setting that affects the team status is the Files permission.

- Paid: If the Files Permission is set to Write, then the team is counted towards the contributor limit.
  - Set the team file permission to write if you want the teammembers to be able to push file commits to the server.

- Free: If the Files permission is set to Read or No Access, the team is not counted towards the contributor limit.
  - Set the team file permission to read if you want to add unlimited read only collaborators to the team.
