# Workspace overview

Think of a **workspace** as your team's control center for managing servers. It's where you and your team come together to organize, monitor, and control your infrastructure.

## Why use workspaces?

**Separate your environments:**
Keep your production, staging, and development servers organized. Use a workspace for each environment to avoid confusion and mistakes.

**Team collaboration made easy:**
Invite your team members, assign roles, and control who can access which servers. Everyone works in the same space but with the permissions they need.

**Your own dedicated space:**
Each workspace gets its own unique URL (like `https://alpacon.io/your-company/`), making it easy for your team to access.

## What you can do

### Manage servers in one place

Register all your servers - whether they're on AWS, Google Cloud, your own data center, or anywhere else. Access them all from one dashboard.

### Control team access

- Invite team members with their email
- Set different permission levels (user, staff, superuser)
- Organize users into groups for easier management
- See who's doing what with activity logs

### Keep projects separate

Running multiple projects or clients? Use separate workspaces for each. This keeps everything organized and secure.

## Common use cases

**For teams:**
- Development team workspace for dev/staging servers
- Operations team workspace for production infrastructure
- Separate workspace for each client project

**For organizations:**
- Department-specific workspaces (Engineering, DevOps, IT)
- Environment-based workspaces (Production, Staging, Development)
- Project-based workspaces for different initiatives

## Getting started
