Team accounts who are part of multiple groups get what access?
When a team account is associated with multiple groups, the highest privilege access for each content level is assigned to the team account.
For example, a team account is associated with two groups A and B. Group A is configured with access to all the languages in version 'V1' while group B is configured with access to only the English language in version 'V1'. The team account will have access to all the languages in version 'V1'.
Does the content access provided at the individual level overrides the team account group access?
When a team account is associated with team account groups and also configured with certain content access at the individual level, the highest privilege access for each content level is assigned to the team account.
For example, when a team account is configured with content access to only the English language in version 'V2' at the individual level and associated with a team account group configured with access to all the languages in version 'V2'. The team account will have access to all the languages in version 'V2'.
