Workspaces and spaces
At a glance
Ontologie provides two levels of organization: the workspace (tenant) fully isolates data between organizations, and the space (canvas) segments the ontology into logical zones within the same workspace.
Workspace
A workspace represents an isolated working environment. Each organization has one or more workspaces, and the data in one workspace is never accessible from another.
Members and roles
Each workspace hosts members with an assigned role:
| Role | Permissions |
|---|---|
| Owner | Full access: configuration, billing, workspace deletion |
| Administrator | Manage members, settings, and governance |
| Editor | Create and modify entities, relations, documents |
| Viewer | Read-only access, no modifications allowed |
Data isolation
- Entities, relations, documents, and events are strictly scoped to the workspace.
- API keys and Live Data connectors are specific to each workspace.
- Agents and workflows can only access data within their own workspace.
Space (Canvas)
A space is a canvas within a workspace. It lets you segment your ontology into logical zones for better organization.
What are spaces for?
- Separation by business domain: one space for Sales, one for Logistics, one for HR.
- Separation by project: one space per team or initiative.
- Experimentation: a test space to prototype a new model without impacting production.
Behavior
- Each space has its own entities and relations.
- Entities can be linked across spaces within the same workspace.
- A workspace has at least one default space.
Summary
| Workspace | Space | |
|---|---|---|
| Level | Tenant (organization) | Canvas (subset) |
| Isolation | Complete: no access between workspaces | Logical: entities can be linked across spaces |
| Members | Shared across all spaces in the workspace | Accessible to all workspace members |
| Data | Fully partitioned | Segmented but interconnectable |
| Use case | Separate organizations or environments | Organize by domain, project, or team |
