You can make your workspace accessible for an entire organisation or invite-only for projects that require confidentiality. Please note that this help article only applies to users who are part of an Organisation. To upgrade your account, please contact our sales team or click the upgrade button in-app!


Adjusting access settings for your workspace:

  1. To access your Workspace Settings, click the gear icon in the menu on the left-hand panel

  2. Click on 'General' to access the workspace restriction settings

  3. Toggle the invite-only icon to disable/enable anyone from your organisation to join the workspace

  4. Adjust the 'Default Permissions' given to new members who join

Labstep team tip: Only the workspace owner can enable or disable the access restriction. If you are not the workspace owner and want to create content that only a limited number of people can access, we recommend you create a personal workspace and enable the 'Invite Only' option. Please note that anyone who is an organisation Admin will be able to view and manage this workspace regardless of the restrictions you have set. See Custom Roles & Permissions.

Accessing your organisation overview:

All workspaces within your organisation will either be open or closed.

  1. To access your Organisation overview, click on your Organisation's name

  2. This will take you to your Organisation overview, where you can see things like the workspaces and users within your Organisation. If you are an Admin, you will also have access to tabs like Plans & Billings and Security.

Labstep team tip: Open workspaces can be joined directly, whereas a closed workspace requires an invite from the workspace owner or for your organisation's Admin to manually add you. You can easily recognise a closed workspace by the lock icon next to its name.
