Systems and methods for creating and managing user teams of user accounts

A computer-implemented method for adding a user to a team in a team management platform, the method comprising:

• querying one or more computer databases in a distributed computing environment to obtain event records corresponding to a user's online interactions with data objects provided by the team management platform;
• identifying, from the event records, a theme represented in the user's online interactions with the data objects;
• determining an activity score for the user with respect to the theme, the activity score based on an analysis of the user's online interactions with respect to a set of data objects associated with the theme;
• in response to the activity score exceeding a first threshold adding the user to a team associated with the theme, the team having an implicit status;
• in response to adding the user to the team:
• configuring the team management platform to provide the user with access to a set of digital content associated with the team, the access allowing the user to view, comment and add to the set of digital content;
• and
• displaying a portion of a feed associated with the set of data objects in a graphical user interface for review by the user;
• in response to determining that a team activity score exceeds a second threshold, changing the team from the implicit status to a formalized status;
• and
• in response to the team changing from the implicit status to the formalized status, configuring the team management platform to provide the user with at least on of an additional access permission to access the set of digital content associated with the team or control over team membership.

A computer-implemented method for suggesting user groups in a distributed computing environment, the method comprising:

• accessing a first set of event records;
• providing the first set of event records as input to a parser configured to apply a parsing rule to input received at the parser;
• receiving as output from the parser a selected theme characterizing a common feature of each event record of the first set of event records, the selected theme based on at least one of one of metadata or content of the first set of event records;
• determining an activity score for the user with respect to a theme, the activity score based on an analysis of the user's online interactions with respect to the first set of event records associated with the theme;
• in response to the activity score exceeding a first threshold adding the user to a team associated with the theme, the team having an implicit status;
• in response to adding the user to the team:
• providing the user with access to a set of digital content associated with the team, the access allowing the user to view, comment and add to the set of digital content;
• and
• displaying a portion of a feed associated with the set of digital content in a graphical user interface for review by the user;
• in response to determining that a team activity score exceeds a second threshold, changing the team from the implicit status to a formalized status;
• and
• in response to the team changing from the implicit status to the formalized status, configuring the team management platform to provide the user with at least on of an additional access permission to access the set of digital content associated with the team or control over team membership.
