Create a space within an organisation

Reviewed on · View on GitHub

An organisation can create as many spaces as it needs. A space compartmentalises resources and identities. A user or a service account can belong to several spaces of the organisation and have different permissions for each space. Example: an administrator on one space can be a read or write user on some resources in others.

A space has the following properties:

  • a name;
  • a description.
