Workspace
Workspaces host all the maps and data for your organization. Data storage and published Layers are shared across the entire Workspace. A workspace must have at least 1 admin at all times.
There are three permissions at the workspace-level:
- Admins
- Editors
- Viewers
Standard and Professional plans bill Workspaces based on the number of editors (admins + editors) there are. Viewers are free.
