When a new Environment is created, by default, one Identity Workspace and one Authorization Workspace is created.
There are three types of Workspaces.
- Identity Workspace: displays the defined Identity Workspaces, including their Dynamic Groups.
- Authorization Workspace: displays the available Authorization Workspaces, in including Applications and Policies.
- Orchestration 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 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.
