Workspace Context

This page describes the the concept of workspaces within the akenza oekosystem

Workspaces are one level in the hierarchy of entities in the akenza oecosystem. Listed below is a hierarchically sorted list of entities:

• Tenant

• Organization

• Workspace

A workspace on akenza is an entity to control access rights to assets and data. Each workspace on akenza contains one or more users. Each workspace is assigned to exactly one organization.

Workspaces extend over all applications of akenza. Any given workspace will extend over all applications it's corresponding organization's subscription allows access to.

Billing and subscription is handled on an organization level. Workspaces inherit access to features from the organization they belong to. See our billing & subscription page for details.

Users in a workspace

Every user on akenza is member of at least one workspace. The rights of workspace users are described in detail here. Access right to a workspace does not extend to the parent organization. Organization roles on the other hand have implicit workspace roles for all organization workspaces.

• Workspace admin

• Workspace editor

• Workspace viewer

Devices in a workspace

Every device on akenza is assigned to exactly one workspace.
