Groups make sharing objects and collaborating easier. Instead of creating your own pad and adding each of your team members to it individualy, create a group-owned pad. With the appropriate permissions set, all group members will be able to use the pad. This also solves issues where a shared pad is owned by a single user whose account gets closed. Instead pads and other objects are safe as long as the group exists. Groups are owned and managed by a single user, who must stick around or transfer ownership for the group to continue functioning.
