Workspaces
A workspace is an isolated operating environment within your organisation, on a single Bitcoin network. It has its own users, roles, vaults, assets, policies and audit history, and a role in one workspace grants nothing in another.
Common reasons to create separate workspaces: a separate stablecoin programme, distinct governance boundaries for different teams, or a testnet workspace for training and pre-production testing.
#Creating a workspace
Required permissions: Create workspace (CREATE_WORKSPACE) and Manage workspace (MANAGE_WORKSPACE) in your current workspace.
- Open the workspace selector and select Add Workspace.
- Enter a name. Use letters, numbers, hyphens and underscores, for example
treasury-opsorUSDX_issuance. - Enter a description of 20 to 255 characters.
- Select the network: Mainnet for live operations, or Testnet for training and testing.
- Select Create.
You are added to the new workspace automatically, as Owner if you are an organisation owner and as Admin otherwise. Invite users, set up roles and create a vault before you operate.
The network is permanent
A workspace's network applies to every vault and asset in it and cannot be changed. Mainnet involves real Bitcoin and real token issuance. Use testnet for training and testing only.
#Workspace details
A workspace's name, description and network are fixed when you create it. Settings shows them for reference.
Key takeaway
A workspace is a self-contained boundary for users, roles, vaults, assets, policies and audit history. Plan workspaces around the governance boundaries you need, because their network and identity are set at creation.
