Set up your workspace

Create an organization and a workspace inside it, then add participants and control their access with teams.

Workspaces in Seqera Platform contain the resources to run your analyses and manage your computing infrastructure. Each workspace member has an access role that determines how they interact with the pipelines, compute environments, and data in the workspace. While each Platform user has a personal workspace, resource sharing and access management happen in organization workspaces.

To create an organization workspace and begin adding participants, first create your organization.

Prerequisites

You need the following:

• An account on your organization's Seqera Platform instance. See Deploy Platform for the ways to access your instance.

Create an organization

Organizations are the top-level structure and contain workspaces, members, and teams. You can also add external collaborators to an organization. See Organization management for more information.

1. Expand the Organization | Workspace drop-down and select Add organization.
2. Complete the organization details fields:
   • The organization's Name in Platform.
   • The Full name of the organization.
   • A Description of the organization to provide contextual information that may be helpful to other organization members.
   • The organization's Location.
   • The organization's Website URL.
   • Drag and drop or upload an image for the organization's Logo.
3. Select Add.

You are the first Owner of the organizations that you create. Add other organization owners and members as needed from the organization's Members tab.

Create a workspace

Workspaces contain the pipelines, compute environments, and data that participants share. An organization can contain multiple workspaces.

1. From the organization's Workspaces tab, select Add Workspace.
2. Complete the workspace details fields:
   • The workspace's Name in Platform.
   • The Full name of the workspace.
   • A Description of the workspace to provide contextual information that may be helpful to other workspace participants.
   • Visibility: Choose whether the workspace's pipelines must be Shared to all organization members, or only visible to workspace participants (Private).
3. Select Add. Your new workspace is listed in the organization's Workspaces tab.
4. Select your new workspace, then select the Participants tab to Add Participants.
5. Enter the names of existing organization members or teams and select Add.
6. Update a participant's access Role from the drop-down, if needed.

Simplify workspace access with teams

Teams group organization members for workspace role-based access control (RBAC). All team members inherit the per-workspace access roles you assign to the team.

Create a team, add team members, and add the team to workspaces from the Teams tab on your organization page:

1. Select Add Team, enter the team's details and an optional team avatar image, then select Add.
2. Select Edit next to the team name in the list, then select the Members of team tab to add new members by name or email.
   note

   Team members must be existing organization members.

3. From the team edit screen's Workspaces tab, add workspaces by name and select an access Role from the drop-down next to each workspace in the list. All team members inherit the workspace access role for the team.
