# Managing your workspaces

This guide describes how to perform common workspace management tasks.

## Managing workspaces

### Add a workspace

By default, each account has a single default workspace. If you have the Admin role, you can add more workspaces to the account.

To add a new workspace to your account:

1. Navigate to [Account settings > Workspaces](https://cloud.lambda.ai/account/workspaces) in the Lambda Cloud console.
2. Click **Create workspace**. A dialog appears.
3. Under **Name**, enter a name for the new workspace.
4. Click **Create workspace** to create the new workspace.

### Rename a workspace

If you have the Admin role in your account, you can rename workspaces in the account.

To rename a workspace in your account:

1. Navigate to [Account settings > Workspaces](https://cloud.lambda.ai/account/workspaces) in the Lambda Cloud console.
2. In the target workspace's row, click **⋮**. A context menu appears.
3. Click **Rename**. A dialog appears.
4. Edit or replace the name in the **Name** input.
5. Click **Rename** to update the workspace name.

## Close a workspace

If you have the Admin role in your account, you can close workspaces in the account, with the exception of the default workspace.

**Warning**  
You must terminate all instances and delete all filesystems from the workspace before you can remove it.

To remove a workspace from your account:

1. Back up any important data, and then terminate all instances and delete all filesystems in the workspace you want to close.
2. Navigate to [Account settings > Workspaces](https://cloud.lambda.ai/account/workspaces) in the Lambda Cloud console.
3. In the row containing the user's details, click **⋮**. A context menu appears.
4. Click **Close workspace**. A modal appears.
5. Review the warning text.
6. If you still want to proceed, enter the displayed text into the input field and then click **Close workspace** to finish closing the workspace.

### View all workspaces in an account

To view a list of the workspaces in your Lambda Cloud account, visit [Account settings > Workspaces](https://cloud.lambda.ai/account/workspaces) in the Lambda Cloud console.

## Managing workspace users

### Add a user to a workspace

By default, the users you invite to your account can only access the default workspace. To give users access to a different workspace, you must add them manually. You must have the Admin role in your account to add users to a workspace.

To add a user to a workspace in your account:

1. If you haven't already done so, invite the user to your account. The user must already belong to your account before you can add them to a workspace in the account.
2. Navigate to [Account settings > Workspaces](https://cloud.lambda.ai/account/workspaces) in the Lambda Cloud console.
3. In the target workspace's row, click **⋮**. A context menu appears.
4. Click **Manage access**. A dialog appears.
5. Click **Add user**. Another dialog appears.
6. Under **User**, select the user you want to add to the workspace.
7. Click **Add** to add the user.

### Remove users from a workspace

If you have an Admin role in your account, you can remove users from workspaces in the account.

To remove a user from a workspace:

1. Navigate to [Account settings > Workspaces](https://cloud.lambda.ai/account/workspaces) in the Lambda Cloud console.
2. In the target workspace's row, click **⋮**. A context menu appears.
3. Click **Manage access**. A dialog appears.
4. Find the user you want to remove.
5. In that user's row, click **Remove**. A modal appears.
