Workspace

Definition​

A Workspace is a construct used to organize Virtual Datasets, particularly with regard to access rights. There are several types of Workspaces, each with its own access permissions and use cases:

Types of Workspaces​

Public Workspace​

Public Workspace is accessible by all users within the organization. This type of workspace is typically labeled as 'MyCompany'. It serves as a communal space where datasets and resources are available to everyone, promoting collaboration and sharing.

Usage Scenarios:

  • Collaborative Projects: Ideal for projects where input and contributions from multiple users are needed.
  • Company-wide Resources: A central location for datasets and resources that are relevant to all users within the organization.

Benefits:

  • Easy Access: Simplifies the process of finding and using shared resources.
  • Encourages Collaboration: Fosters a collaborative environment by making it easy to share information.

Shared Workspace​

Shared Workspace is designed to grant access to a specific group of users. This type of workspace allows for controlled sharing of datasets and resources among team members or departments. It ensures that only designated users can view and modify the content, providing a balance between collaboration and privacy.

Usage Scenarios:

  • Team Projects: Useful for teams working on specific projects where only team members need access.
  • Departmental Resources: Allows departments to maintain their own resources and datasets that are not meant for company-wide access.

Benefits:

  • Controlled Access: Ensures that only specific users can access certain datasets and resources.
  • Focused Collaboration: Facilitates teamwork within defined groups, ensuring relevant data is only shared among necessary parties.

Private Workspace​

Private Workspace is intended for individual use. Each user has their own private workspace created by default. This space is ideal for personal projects, testing, and experimentation. It ensures that the user's work remains private and isolated from others until they choose to share it.

Usage Scenarios:

  • Personal Development: A safe space for users to develop their skills and work on personal projects without external interference.
  • Testing and Experimentation: Allows users to test new ideas and workflows in isolation before sharing them with others.

Benefits:

  • Privacy: Guarantees that the user's work remains private until they decide to share it.
  • Flexibility: Provides a personal space for users to explore and innovate without restrictions.
