# Organizations and workspaces

Learn how InstantML scopes every project, run, and setting to the active
workspace, and how to switch between workspaces safely.

> **Info:** A **workspace** is the dashboard name for an organization: it owns projects, runs, reports, API keys, seats, usage counters, billing state, and storage configuration.

## Understand the hierarchy

The hierarchy is intentionally small:

| Level | What it owns |
| --- | --- |
| Workspace / organization | Members, roles, billing, usage, API keys, reports, storage, and project data |
| Project | Related runs inside one workspace |
| Run | Metrics, config, tags, notes, logs, artifacts, rich objects, checkpoints, and lineage |
| Report | Workspace-scoped writeups with live dashboard panels and share links |

Switching workspaces changes the organization context for every dashboard and
API route. Runs from another workspace do not appear in the current workspace.

## Switch workspaces from the account menu

Use the account menu in the top right to:

- See the current workspace name, plan, and your role.
- Switch between personal and organization workspaces.
- Create a new workspace with **New workspace**.
- Open the **Workspace settings** modal, which includes the Billing section
  when your role allows it.
- Toggle the light/dark theme.
- Sign out.

The switcher groups your personal workspace and organization workspaces into
separate sections, with your current workspace marked.

Personal workspaces are single-seat and always stay one owner seat. Plan seat
counts apply to organization workspaces; create or switch to an organization
workspace when you want to invite teammates.

## Assign roles

Workspace roles control mutations:

| Role | Typical access |
| --- | --- |
| Owner | Full workspace, billing, seat, API-key, and data access |
| Admin | Workspace administration and data access without ownership transfer |
| Write/read (`member`) | Create and update runs, artifacts, reports, and saved views |
| Read only (`viewer`) | Read dashboard data without write access |

> **Note:** Invite forms offer only the member, admin, and viewer roles. Owner is not an invitable role — the workspace creator holds it.

The shared demo workspace is read-only. Use it for exploration; it does not
accept run, artifact, report, or settings mutations.

## Confirm the scope before you act

Settings, API keys, usage, storage mode, invitations, and billing always apply
to the active workspace. Confirm the top-right workspace name before creating
keys, inviting teammates, or launching imports into a new organization.
