# Limitations for Teams

This page lists the limitations and constraints that apply to Teams in Contentstack. Review these before planning how to structure teams and assign roles across your organization.

## Capacity and Plan

*   Teams is a plan-based feature. Contact our [support](mailto:support@contentstack.com) team to activate it for your organization.
*   The maximum character length for a team name is **200**.
*   The maximum character length for a team description is **255**.
*   The maximum number of teams allowed per organization is **500**.

## Roles and Permissions

*   You must have the [Owner or Admin](/docs/administration/about-administration-roles) roles to create, edit, or delete a team. The Security Manager role can view teams but cannot manage them.
*   Each team must have at least one Administration role assigned.
*   Project-level custom roles, such as custom stack, space, or AgentOS project roles, must be created from the respective project or its per-product settings page before they can be assigned to a team.
*   A user who belongs to multiple teams inherits the combined roles of all those teams. Team membership can add access but cannot remove access granted elsewhere.
*   If a user is the owner of a stack, the owner permission takes precedence over any stack-level role assigned through a team.
