Manage workspaces

Workspaces are how you set up different customers, departments, or groups of users. Each workspace has separate user accounts, projects and files, and storage reports.

Who needs a workspace?

Initially, you will likely want to create a workspace for each customer on Hivebase. This is the most basic use of a workspace.

You may find that some of your customers have different departments or teams, with different types of documents, and need to manage access separately. It might make sense to split off separate workspaces in these situations and have different workspaces for "ACME Facilities" and "ACME Student Records," for example.

Workspace billing

Hivebase will bill you for your workspace usage at your discounted partner rates. It is up to you to handle the billing relationship between you and your workspace customers.

Creating a new workspace

When you sign in to your partner account, you will see a list of your current workspaces. Click on New Workspace.

Every workspace needs a name and a timezone. There may be some additional, optional settings to review.

Switching into a workspace

Each workspace in your list has a Switch link on the right. Click this to open the workspace.

This will switch you into the workspace where you can proceed with inviting users, setting up projects, and uploading files.
