About Workspaces
Workspaces are pages that users create and use as work areas for some specific purpose. Users build the content of the workspace by dragging portlets on to the workspace. For example, users might create a workspace to gather information about an issue they need to solve. They might attach files to the workspace related to the issue by adding the Attachments tool to the workspace. If they have a screen shot that illustrates the issue, they might add the Image tool to the workspace.
Users can also share workspaces with other users so that multiple users can work together. For example, a user might add the Attachments tool to the workspace so that the users sharing the workspace can upload and share files. The owner of the workspace sets the permissions that dictate that actions that other users sharing the workspace can perform.
Users can create as many workspaces as they need. When the workspace is no longer needed, for example because the issue for which it was established is resolved, users can simply delete the workspace.
For more information about the basic use of workspaces, such as, creating workspaces, sharing workspaces, and adding portlets to workspaces, see Working with My webMethods.
System administrators and My webMethods administrators can restrict or enhance the a user’s workspace functionality. For more information, see Administration Tasks for Workspaces.
*To restrict functionality, an administrator can set users’ permissions to deny functionality that they are granted out-of-the-box. For example, you can deny the functional privilege that allows a user to create new workspaces.
*To enhance functionality, an administrator can set users’ permissions to grant functionality that they are not granted out-of-the-box. For example, you can grant:
*The functional privilege that makes a user an expert user. Expert users have access to additional properties and menu actions that aid in developing workspaces. For more information, see Expert User Features for Workspace Development.
*Access to the Navigate > Applications > Administration > System-Wide > Workspace Management page from which a user can perform actions against workspaces. For more information, see Workspace Actions You Can Perform from the Workspace Management Page.
Additionally, system administrators can customize the Tools tab of the My webMethods navigation. For more information, see About the My webMethods Tools Navigation.
