      Article summary

      When a new Environment is created, by default, one Identity Workspace and one Authorization Workspace is created. Each time you log in to the Platform, you will see an accordion arrangement with two tabs.

      By default, the Authorization Workspace is displayed and the other Workspaces are closed. When closed, you will see:

      • Identity accordion displays the total number of defined Identity Workspaces and the defined Dynamic Groups.
      • Authorization accordion displays the total number of available Authorization Workspaces, Applications, and Policies.
      • Orchestration Workspace displays the total number or Policy Orchestration Points (POP).

      Once you click to open an accordion, the Workspace that was last viewed is displayed. To manage Workspaces, you can:

      Note that Environment Admins can create new Workspaces while users with Workspace Admin and Viewer Permissions can see Workspaces but cannot create them.

      About Multiple Identity Workspaces

      In the Identity Workspace, you can create and manage Dynamic Groups that are used to apply Policies created in the Authorization Workspace. Creating multiple Identity Workspaces enables you to define multiple Main Identity Sources within the Platform so that different types of users (for example, the internal workforce, outside contractors, partners, etc.) can be assigned different access permissions to the organizations Applications and Assets.

      Multiple Identity Workspaces support separation of duties by allowing different Identity Types to be managed separately from within the Platform.

      About Multiple Authorization Workspaces

      In the Authorization Workspace, you can create and manage the objects used in Policies (Asset Types, Assets, Rulesets, Conditions, Applications, etc.), as well as the Policies themselves. In certain cases, different people will need to manage different sets of Policies, for example, manage separate Applications, create and manage Policies for separate lines of business.

      Multiple Authorization Workspaces support separation of duties by allowing different owners to manage only the Polices relevant to their areas of responsibility.
