Configure Workspaces on Astro

Workspaces are collections of Deployments that can be accessed by a specific group of users. You can use Workspaces to group Deployments that share a business use case or environment trait.

Some common ways to implement Workspaces are:

• Using a single Workspace for an entire Organization, with all development and production pipelines hosted together.
• Using a Workspace per environment. For example, you might have a production Workspace that stores all of your production pipelines and a development Workspace that stores all of your development pipelines.
• Using a Workspace per team. For example, you might have a Workspace for your Data Science team and a separate Workspace for your Data Engineer team, with each team's Workspace hosting both production and development pipelines.
• Using a Workspace per project. For example, you might have a Workspace called "Sales Analytics Project" that hosts both production and development pipelines.

This document explains how to configure Workspace details. To manage Workspace users, see Manage Workspace users.
