Configure Workspaces
We're introducing a new way to collaborate. As an administrator, you can set up virtual workspaces for your organizational setup, allowing you to more easily manage all of your content and users.
- Users with Read and Manage permissions for Workspaces.
- Admin and BI Admin standard application roles.
Getting to Know Workspaces
- Manage a large amount of content and users
- Create workspaces for different departments (for example, finance, HR data) to facilitate sharing department-relevant content
- Set up workspaces for different lines of business to manage cross-product information spillover
- Easily create, then delete workspaces for short-term projects whose team members are temporary

Now that you’ve created a new workspace, you can assign teams and workspace administrators. To manage your existing workspaces, you can visit the Workspace Management area at any time.

To add users to a workspace; the users must already be assigned to a team, and the team must be assigned to the workspace.
Assigning a Workspace Administrator to a Workspace
Workspaces lets you delegate content administration to workspace administrators. By assigning a user as a workspace administrator, the assigned user can organize the workspace content into folders, edit or delete files, and move content in and out of a workspace.
Workspace administrators are also given read-only rights to the Workspace Management area. There, they can view the details of the workspaces they are assigned.
- Open Workspace Management from the side navigation.
- Select a workspace.
- Under Assigned Admins, click on the + to add workspace administrators.
- In the dialog, select the users you want to add as workspace administrators.
- Click OK.
You may assign multiple users as workspace administrators. Workspace administrators do not have to be in an assigned team in the workspace.
Workspace administrators can’t create or delete a workspace; only Administrators can create or delete a workspace.

-
Open Workspace Management from the side navigation.
