Managing Workspaces

When a new Environment is created, by default, one Identities Workspace and one Policies Workspace are created.

There are three types of Workspaces.

Identities Workspace: displays the defined Identities Workspaces, including their Dynamic Groups.
Policies Workspace: displays the available Policies Workspaces, including Applications and Policies.
Integration Workspace: displays the Policy Orchestration Points (POP) if a POP is configured. For more information, see Managing the Orchestration Workspace.

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 Policies Workspace. Creating multiple Identities 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 organization's Applications and Assets.

Multiple Identities 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.
