# About Workspaces

Speckle Workspaces provide a secure, centralised environment for teams to collaborate, manage projects, and control access to shared data. This documentation outlines how to effectively use Workspaces and leverage their critical features for your organisation.

# Key Features of Workspaces

Workspaces are designed to:

  • Enable granular access control for projects and team members.
  • Provide domain-based membership protection for enhanced security.
  • Support team collaboration with centralised project and user management.
  • Streamline project workflows and data sharing.
  • Allow for collaboration and team development of automations with Speckle Automate.

Explore the Starter or Business plans for increased usaged limits and advanced functionality like Single Sign-On (SSO) or custom data residency.

# Managing Access and Permissions

Workspaces offer flexible access controls to fit your organisation's needs:

# Admins

  • Manage workspace members and projects.
  • Add or remove members, assign roles, and enforce security policies.

# Members

  • View all projects in the workspace by default.
  • Can create, contribute to, and own projects if on an Editor seat
  • Cannot invite external users.

# Guests

  • External collaborators invited to specific projects.
  • Can contribute to projects if on an Editor seat.
  • Have limited visibility and access only to the projects to which they are explicitly added.

# Advanced Security Options

The Business plan offers features for organisations requiring advanced security and control. Admins can:

  • Restrict membership to specific email domains so only authorised users can join
  • Enable SSO
  • Choose a custom region to host the workspace data

# Data Management

Workspaces make managing project data simple and secure:

  • Projects are centrally managed within the workspace.
  • Members can be assigned a Can edit role (write/read access) or Can view role (read-only access on web).
  • All data is encrypted and stored in Speckle's secure infrastructure.

For organisations with regulatory requirements, custom data residency options allow data storage in specific regions.

Workspaces also integrate with Speckle Automate, enabling teams to create private automation functions for advanced project workflows.
