# Create a Crew
{% hint style="danger" %}
**Important:** this feature requires the paid **Operations add-on.**
{% endhint %}
Crews let you group your team members together so you can assign and schedule jobs on the Production Calendar. Once a crew is set up, you can assign them to jobs and track their workload at a glance.
***
## Creating a Crew
1. Go to **Account Settings → Billing → User Management → Crews**
2. Click **+ Add Crew**
3. Give your crew a name
4. Select a Lead — this can be any active Team or Sales user
5. Choose a crew color — this will show up on the Production Calendar to help you quickly identify assignments
6. Click **Confirm**

## A Few Things to Know
* A crew **Lead** can be any active PaintScout user with a Team or Sales seat
* Crew colors appear on the **Production Calendar Schedule view** to help with visibility
* A crew **cannot be deleted** if it has current or upcoming jobs — you'll need to cancel or reassign those jobs first
