Finding a Shared Team
When creating an application context, you can choose to use a shared team that has been established within the organization context from which the application context is being created.
To locate a shared team when creating an application context, click Find next to the Shared Team field.
* 
If you select a shared team in which you are not a member and the shared team is not extended locally, you may not have access to the application context that is created. For example, assume that you are not an administrator and, as part of creating a project, you select a shared team of which you are not a member. If the selected shared team is not extended locally, then you will not have access to the project.
From the Find Shared Team window, you can either search for the shared teams that are available from your organization or select a shared team from the Most Recent Shared Teams list.
Use the following steps to search for a shared team from the Find Shared Team window:
1. To limit your search, enter a full or partial name in the Shared Team Name field. Use the asterisk character to search for a partial name. The search is case sensitive.
If you do not enter anything in the Shared Team Name field, all shared teams available from the organization are returned in the Search Results field.
2. Click Search.
3. Select the shared team you want to use from the Search Results field.
4. Click OK.
The window closes and the selected shared team appears in the Shared Team field.
