How do you actually set up a team?

This is really strange to me. 

I have a “Team”, apparent only from the URL, none of the UI elements show whether or not I’m dealing with an organization or a team. This team has members, whom I pay for, and the seats are set up for each one of them. They are all listed under the URL “…..team/<id>/team-admin-console/members...”, and show up properly.

When I access “...team/<id>/all-projects….” and press the small down-arrow next to the Team name, and select “show members”, only my account is visible.

The experience is this: all of the people in the team(shown under the team-admin-console) need to be manually approved/invited to each file for editing, even though they have been invited and accepted into the team.

According to the documentation: “For example: if you invite someone to a team, they’ll have access to the projects and files in that team, based on the permissions you give them (can view or can edit). If you invite someone to a specific file, but not the team, they get access to just that file but no other team projects and files.” 

When I visit the “all projects”-page for the team, and press “invite” in the top right, giving someone “edit” access(that already has a seat and have been invited/accepted), their status goes to “pending”(ie. accepted and paid → back to pending).

I assume there’s some difference between the invites, but this is very unclear. When I access the “team admin”-view, and invite someone, why do i then need to also invite them to the files and/or the project? 

Why is it so hard to let an admin just purchase a seat, and assign a person to a project?

This is a nightmare working in an async team, where all of these clashes/missing permissions are noticed on a file-by-file/project-by-project status.

Please make it clear where and how to invite someone to actually access a team/project. If the “team-admin” page is only purchasing a seat(which is my assumption now), it sholud be made redundantly clear that this is not giving access to the team, this is simply paying for them, and you’ll have to figure out the rest as you go.
