- Go to the "Members" tab
- Select a member by clicking on their name
- Enter the new values (start date + availability)

Note: when you go back to the overview of team members you see only the currently applicable memberships. Any memberships that have a future start date won't be listed until they are current. 
Limitations
Existing teams
Existing teams that are based on members cannot be synchronized with a Jira group. This option is available only during the creation process.

You can duplicate a team or assign an existing team to upper/lower level Boxes.
Mixed membership
If a team is based on a Jira group, you can't add individual users to expand the team. The team is based on a Jira group only.
Jira group assignement
