# 1. Create Workspace

## Create Workspace

**Required permissions:** Super Admin / Company Owner

On the Datumo Platform, all work is done at the Workspace level. This document explains how to create your first Workspace and how to create additional Workspaces.

***

### 📌 Before you start

#### What is a Workspace?

A Workspace is an independent work area where Evaluation, Redteaming, and Observability activities are performed. You can create multiple Workspaces within a single Company, and each Workspace has its own Applications, Users, and evaluation history.

> 💡 In general, Workspaces are separated and operated by service or team. Example)\
>  `AI Consultation Assistant`, `Persona Chatbot`, `AI Subscription Consultation`

#### Prerequisites

| Item                              | Content                          |
| --------------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
| **Logged-in account permissions** | `Super Admin` or `Company Owner` |

> ⚠️ You cannot create a Workspace with Workspace Admin permissions. If you don't have the required permissions, ask the Company Owner.

A newly created Workspace is empty, so first proceed with one of the following two steps.

<table><thead><tr><th>Action</th><th width="235.71484375">Description</th><th>Guide</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>User Management</strong></td><td>Invite team members to the Workspace and set their permissions.</td><td>G-2.
