Workspace Auto-sharing

Derek A.

We've ran into some issues recently, with new employees creating workspaces and not sharing them correctly (either not sharing them when they need to be or giving incorrect permissions). Is there an option to set up auto-sharing for workspaces at an account level?

Thanks.

Hi Derek,

Unfortunately, there isn't a native way. It could maybe be possible thru the API.

I hope this helps you!

Derek,

Do the employees need to be creating workspaces (and other objects) at all?

Check out this articles on user type:

and this info graphic that explains it differently

Also, is it common practice to share to users or groups? I have found that group sharing alleviates many of these sorts of problems.

If you think this is a functionality you need, please submit an enhancement request

I hope that helps.

In my opinion, auto-sharing is probably a security issue (which I won't go into here), but I do have some tools for the SysAdmin that are geared toward such issues. I'll add this to my list.
