# Workspace Projects

Workspace projects are centralised repositories for collaborative workflows, enhanced with features like advanced security, role-based access, and automation integration.

# Key Features of Workspace Projects

  • Centralised project management with granular access controls.
  • Integration with Speckle Automate for tailored workflow enhancements.
  • Advanced options for project migration and data residency.

# Automate Integration in Projects

Workspace projects support Speckle Automate, enabling advanced automation workflows:

  1. Private Functions:

    • Workspace members and admins can create private automation functions to streamline workflows and enforce standards.
    • These functions are visible to all Workspace members.

  2. Automations in Projects:

    • Automations (created using private functions) are tied to specific projects and visible to Project Reviewers and above.
    • Only Project Owners and above can create or edit automations.

  3. Role-Based Permissions:

    • Admins and Project Owners: Full control over automations, including creation and editing.
    • Contributors and Reviewers: Can execute automations assigned to their projects.

# Managing Project Access

Workspaces are designed for secure and controlled collaboration. To manage project access:

  • Use role-based permissions to define Contributors (write access) and Reviewers (read-only access).
  • Leverage workspace-level domain policies to enforce compliance with your organisation's email domains.
  • For stricter access, create a separate Workspace for sensitive projects and invite only necessary team members.

# Migrating Projects

Moving a project from a personal account to a Workspace enables team collaboration and advanced features.

# How Migration Works:

  • The project has been transferred to Workspace and removed from your account.
  • The data region of the original project is preserved.

# Upcoming Feature: Data Region Migration

In the future, you can move migrated projects to a different data region to comply with regulatory or organisational requirements.

# Advanced Usage Tips

  • Automation Across Projects: Use shared functions to standardise team workflows in multiple projects.
  • Access Reviews: Regularly audit project access and automations for security and compliance.
  • Optimising for Large Teams: Segment projects across multiple Workspaces for more explicit boundaries and easier management.
