### Overview



Add a member team. Adds the team given by the `id` in the body as a member team of the super team.

**Note**: This API is deprecated. For creating team hierarchy links, use the team hierarchy links API: `POST /api/v2/team-hierarchy-links`.
This endpoint requires the `teams_read` permission.
OAuth apps require the `teams_read` authorization [scope](https://docs.datadoghq.com/api/latest/scopes.md#teams) to access this endpoint.
