  • Manage groups: Use groups to simplify access management for teams.
  • Remove users: Remove users or change their roles as needed to maintain security and compliance.

3. Tags

  • Add tags: Use tags to add business context, such as cost center, environment, or owner, to your workspace.
  • Mandatory tags: Some tags may be required by your organization for compliance or reporting.
  • Tag replication: Tags can be automatically replicated to projects and platform resources for consistent metadata.

4. Environments (Projects)

  • Assign users to projects: Control access to each environment by assigning users or groups to specific projects.
  • Manage project settings: Configure project-specific settings, such as quotas, tags, and platform connections.

5. Financials

  • View costs: Access cost and usage reports for your workspace and its projects.
  • Budgeting: Set budgets or alerts to monitor spending and avoid overruns.
  • Cost allocation: Use tags and project structure to allocate costs to teams, applications, or business units.

6. Additional Management Tasks

  • Connect platforms: Link cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP, etc.) to your workspace for resource provisioning.
  • Configure landing zones: Set up landing zones for secure and compliant cloud environments.
