Summary
Workspace settings gather what applies across all its projects: its identity and organization, its members, the badges used to file projects, the default environments every new project inherits, and the approved language model. Only an owner gets in.
General
The name, the description and the publishing organization — hospital, university, institute, consortium. The organization is not decorative: it travels with every entity exported from this workspace and acts as a signature when the work circulates. See Entities and sharing.
This is also where the git repository the workspace is linked to is configured.
Members
Who gets into the workspace and with which role. The subject has its own page: Members and roles.
Badges
Badges label projects — a domain, a unit, a funding source — to keep things findable as they multiply.
Here you declare the badge categories, that is, the filing axes that make sense in your setting. Each project then picks from them.
Default environments
A project running code needs libraries: pandas, ggplot2, whatever your team uses day to day.
Rather than installing them project after project, you declare here the list every new project inherits. A project remains free to diverge from it afterwards.
A team decision more than a technical setting
This list implicitly states what your team works with. Keeping it short and current stops every project starting out with a cluttered environment nobody can account for.
AI assistant
The language model available in this workspace, and the uses it is approved for. A Tests tab lets you check that a model answers properly before making it available.
The subject, with its confidentiality implications, is covered in Model providers.
Delete workspace
The last tab, owner-only and flagged in red.
Deleting a workspace takes everything with it
Its projects, its databases, its mappings, its wiki, its plugins. The operation cannot be undone. If any of that work has value, export it or push it to a git repository first.
