Set up your workspace

Workspaces in Seqera Platform contain the resources to run your analyses and manage your computing infrastructure. Workspace members are granted various access roles to interact with the pipelines, compute environments, and data in a workspace. While each Platform user has a personal workspace, resource sharing and access management happens in an organization workspace context.

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

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 dropdown and select Add organization.
  2. Complete the organization details fields:
    • The Name to be associated with the organization 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 to be used as the organization's Logo in Platform.
  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​

  1. From the organization's Workspaces tab, select Add Workspace.
  2. Complete the workspace details fields:
    • The Name to be displayed for the workspace 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. You are redirected to your organization's Workspaces tab with your new workspace listed.
  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 dropdown, if needed.

Simplify workspace access with teams​

Teams simplify workspace role-based access control (RBAC) for groups of organization members. Per-workspace access roles assigned to teams are inherited by all team members.

Create a new 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 dropdown next to each workspace in the list. All team members inherit the workspace access role for the team.
