Discoverable collaboration teams

Abstract

Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for implementing discoverable collaboration teams. In some embodiments, a user of a content management system can create a team account within the content management system. The team account can be associated with a domain of the user (now administrator) of the team account. The domain can be an email domain, company name, or some other identifier or characteristic of the user that might be shared with other users. The administrator can specify discoverability settings for the team that allow other content management system users associated with the domain to automatically discover and/or join the team account.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method comprising:
 detecting, by a content management system, that a first user has logged into a first user account managed by the content management system from a client device;   determining, by the content management system, that the first user account is associated with a first domain;   determining, by the content management system, that the first domain corresponds to a second domain of a collaboration team account managed by the content management system; and   based on the determination that the first domain of the first user account corresponds to the second domain of the collaboration team account, causing a prompt to be presented to the client device prompting the first user to join the collaboration team account.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 determining, by the content management system, that an automatic discovery setting of the collaboration team account allows for automatic discovery of the collaboration team;   based on the determination that the automatic discovery setting of the collaboration team account allows for automatic discovery of the collaboration team, causing a prompt to be presented to the client device prompting the first user to join the collaboration team account.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the automatic discovery setting allows users to automatically join the collaboration team account, and further comprising:
