An administrator can choose to manage travel for their travelers when creating a team.
If an administrator chooses to manage travel for their travelers, they must first send an invite to their travelers and be accepted by them before they are able to add, edit, and view their travelers' trips. The TripIt for Teams owner is automatically an administrator.
