# Add an SRM team

Request to create a team to start monitoring your services. Teams are responsible for the issues that occur in the associated services.

## Before you begin

Role required: srm\_manager, srm\_responder, or srm\_admin

## About this task

If you have the srm\_admin or admin role, you can set up teams using a different process. See [Activate teams and services in SRM](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-operations-management/service-reliability-management/sr-activate-teams-and-services-in-srm.md) for more information.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **Workspaces** > **Service Operations Workspace**.

    You're taken to your SRM Home page.

    **Note:** If you use other Service Operations Workspace \(SOW\) applications, you may see the SOW Home page instead of the SRM Home page. The SOW Home page includes SRM alerts and incidents in its metrics.

2.  Select **Teams** \(\[Omitted image "icon-sr-teams.png"\] Alt text: Teams module icon\), select **Add a team**.

3.  Create a new team or add an existing one.
