A team manager is a member who can approve timesheets and leave for the team, see the team’s screenshots, and use the Real-Time page for the team. Adding someone as a team manager is how you “promote” them to a Manager experience.

The member immediately gains Manager abilities for everyone on that team.
A member can manage multiple teams
There is no limit. A “department head” might manage three teams; you can add them as manager to each.
A team can have multiple managers
There is also no limit on the manager side. Add as many as you need.
What managers can do for their team
When someone manages a team, they can:
See and edit timesheets for team members (subject to pay period locks)
Approve or deny pay periods for team members
Approve or deny leave for team members
See the Real-Time Activity page filtered to their team
See screenshots for team members
File leave requests on behalf of team members
For the full breakdown, see How the “Manager” role works.
Removing a manager
Click the x next to the manager’s chip in the Managers section. They lose the manager abilities for that team. If they no longer manage any team or project, they revert to a regular Member.

Owners are not team managers
An Owner is implicitly able to do everything a Manager can do, plus more. You do not need to add Owners to the team managers list. They will see everything regardless.
