# Team Assignment

Team Assignment enables you to assign requests and ClearFeed tickets to groups of users, known as Teams. These Teams are essentially Slack Groups within your Slack workspace.

{% hint style="info" %}
It is mandatory to set up Slack Groups in your workspace, as each Team within ClearFeed is directly mapped to a Slack Group. Learn more about Slack User Groups [here](https://slack.com/intl/en-in/help/articles/212906697-Create-a-user-group).
