What you can do

Create organizations (teams) with defined roles and membership.
Message your team in the Messages app. The team chat is linked automatically.
Build a personal network outside any organization with Personal Connections.
Find colleagues by CloudHandle and start one-to-one direct messages.

Aselius is not limited to people working with AI. Manage Teams supports structured communication between people and teams, under the same account and security model as your AI-assisted workspaces.

Note: Manage Teams and Personal Connections are not AI-powered in the current release. They use membership rules, invitations, connection requests and real-time presence. AI on Aselius lives in other areas, such as Aselius Workspace and Manage Files. If AI comes to Teams, Beunec will say so in the release notes.

Who it is for

Audience	What you get
Business users	Create teams, invite members, message colleagues, manage connections
Team leads and owners	Control membership, transfer ownership, delete organizations
IT and security reviewers	Industry-standard sign-in, role-based actions, flows that are easy to audit

Where it fits

App	Handles
Manage Teams	People and organizations
Messages	Conversations: team chats and direct messages
Manage Files	Document storage and AI-assisted document work, with its own rules

Core concepts

Organization (team)

An organization is a named group with:

A name and description.
Members, each with a role: Owner, Admin or Member.
A linked messaging group with a default #General channel.

You never set up the chat space yourself. Aselius creates it when you create the team.

Roles and permissions

Role	What it can do
Owner	Everything: edit team info, invite and remove members, change roles, transfer ownership, delete organization
Admin	Manage members and team settings. Cannot delete the organization or transfer ownership.
Member	Take part in team chat. Can invite others only if the team allows member invites.

Note: Only the Owner can delete an organization, and deletion is permanent. It removes the team, all memberships and the linked messaging group, including its channels and messages.

Personal Connections

Personal Connections are on the same page as Manage Teams, but they are separate from organizations. With them you can:

Find people by CloudHandle.
Send and manage connection requests.
View profiles and open direct messages.
Disconnect when a working relationship ends.

Connections power one-to-one messaging. Team membership powers group messaging.

CloudHandle

Your CloudHandle is your unique identity on Aselius (for example, name@beunec.cloud). You use it to:

Invite someone to a team.
Search for people to connect with.
Send direct messages.

How it works

Teams and Messages stay in sync

Create an organization, for example "Acme".
Aselius creates the team, its messaging group and a #General channel.
Click Message on the team card, or Open Team Chat in team settings.
The team's group chat and channels open in Messages.

When an Owner or Admin adds someone to a team, Aselius also adds them to the team chat. No separate onboarding step is needed.

Desktop and mobile

Feature	Desktop (wide screens)	Mobile and tablet
Team list	Full-width main area	Same, stacked layout
Team settings	Right-side panel, resizable, with the list still visible	Full-page team detail with back navigation
Connection profile	Right-side panel	Modal dialog
Going to Messages	Opens the group or DM in Messages	Same

On desktop your team list stays in view while you work. Smaller screens get full-page views.

Common tasks

Task	Steps
Create a team	Manage Teams, then Create Team, then name and description, then create
Invite a member	Open the team, then Add member, then CloudHandle and role, then Add
Message the team	Team card, then Message; or team settings, then Open Team Chat
Connect with someone	Personal Connections, then Discover, then CloudHandle, then Send request

Security and trust

Control	What it means for you
Authentication	Industry-standard sign-in through our identity provider. Every request must come from a signed-in account.
Authorization	Roles are checked on every sensitive action: invite, delete, transfer.
Input hygiene	Team names and descriptions are cleaned on our servers.
Identity binding	Every action is tied to your signed-in CloudHandle, never an anonymous session.
Deletion scope	When an Owner deletes an organization, its data and its linked team chat are removed.

For message encryption and file storage, see the Messages documentation. For the full platform security model, see the Security Disclosure.

Limits

Manage Teams does not offer these in the current release. They are intentional product boundaries.

AI-generated team recommendations, summaries or auto-invites.
Automatic org chart inference.
Built-in video calling. Use Messages for text and files, and an external tool for calls.
A public people directory. To find someone you need their CloudHandle, and their profile must be public.
Federation across organizations on other platforms, as some enterprise chat suites offer.

How it fits Aselius

Tools such as Slack and Microsoft Teams are strong communication hubs. Aselius is agentic infrastructure: one place where people work with AI and with each other, under one account and security model. Manage Teams does not replace those tools. It is the organization and relationship layer inside Aselius, so that:

Teams and connections are first-class.
Messaging is built in.
AI-assisted work in files and the workspace uses the same identity and storage.

Product: Aselius, by Beunec Technologies Inc. Manage Teams runs on standard application rules today. Future AI features will be announced in release notes.
