# Create a team with the APC API

<Note>
  The examples on this page show common ways to use the APC API — they're not a complete API reference. For the full, interactive API documentation for your installation, including every available query, mutation, and type, go to `https://houston.<your-base-domain>/v1`, and click on the **Docs** tab. See [Develop and test APC API queries](/docs/astro-private-cloud/v-2-x/houston-api-develop-test) for more on using the built-in GraphQL explorer.
</Note>

### Create local team

```graphql wrap theme={null}
mutation {
  createTeam(
    name: "Data Engineering"
    description: "Data engineering team"
    provider: "local"
    userIds: ["<user-uuid-1>", "<user-uuid-2>"]
  ) {
    team {
      id
      name
      provider
      description
      users {
        id
        username
      }
    }
    message
  }
}
```

### Create IdP team

[IdP group sync](/docs/astro-private-cloud/v-2-x/import-idp-groups) automatically creates IdP teams, but you can also create them manually:

```graphql wrap theme={null}
mutation {
  createTeam(
    name: "engineering-group"
    description: "Synced from Okta"
    provider: "okta"
  ) {
    team {
      id
      name
      provider
    }
    message
  }
}
```

<Note>
  You can't assign users to IdP teams at creation time. The IdP syncs users to the team.
