# 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.

1. Open the workspace selector and select **Add Workspace**.
2. Enter a **name**. Use letters, numbers, hyphens and underscores, for example `treasury-ops` or `USDX_issuance`.
3. Enter a **description** of 20 to 255 characters.
4. Select the **network**: **Mainnet** for live operations, or **Testnet** for training and testing.
5. 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.

  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.

  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.
