&lt;p&gt;Right now you can expect backwards compatibility for existing teams and groups, but you should avoid creating solutions that depend on teams and departments going forward. &amp;nbsp;Use Custom Groups instead.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you&amp;#39;re just starting out, consider reading the playbook play for &lt;a href="/w/the-appian-playbook/99/application-authorization" target="_blank"&gt;Application Authorization&lt;/a&gt; to assist with your application design plan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Departments and Team in people tab</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/54037?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 10 Apr 2018 11:16:51 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:382b5470-bfc8-4856-8481-d0ab58643fb6</guid><dc:creator>Jayapriya Muthu</dc:creator><description>Please check the below documents to understand about that&lt;br /&gt;
