Team Collaboration and Workspace

Term Definitions

Workspace

Workspace is a core feature of the Sealos Cloud Operating System, implemented based on Kubernetes namespaces. It serves as a multi-tenant resource isolation mechanism, allowing the partitioning of a Kubernetes cluster into multiple workspaces. Each workspace has its own resource quotas and permissions, enabling the allocation of different users to distinct workspaces for resource isolation and permission control.

Personal workspace is a special form of workspace. Each user has a personal workspace with a name identical to their username. The resource quotas and permissions of personal workspaces are the same as regular workspaces. However, personal workspaces cannot be deleted, and other users cannot be added to them.

Roles and Permissions

Users within a workspace can have different roles, each with its own set of permissions. Currently, Sealos Cloud Operating System includes the following roles: Owner, Manager, and Developer.

  • Owner: Possesses all permissions within the workspace, including deleting the workspace, viewing/creating/modifying all resources within the workspace, and inviting users to join the workspace as administrators/developers.
  • Manager: Possesses managerial permissions within the workspace, such as viewing/creating/modifying all resources within the workspace and inviting users to join as developers.
  • Developer: Possesses development permissions within the workspace, including viewing the status of resources within the workspace.

Accept Invitation

When a user is invited to join a workspace, they can view the invitation message in the management panel. By clicking on the invitation message, they can see the details and accept the invitation. After acceptance, the user becomes a member of the workspace with resource permissions.
