# Workspaces and organizations

A Syncek organization can hold more than one workspace, and each workspace keeps
its own records, objects, lists, views and members. You belong to one organization
at a time, and inside it to the workspaces you have been added to, with a role in
each. Organization Admins and the Owner create workspaces, and everyone moves
between theirs from the workspace menu at the top of the sidebar.

## One organization, several workspaces

The organization is your company's account: its people and its workspaces. A
person belongs to one organization at a time.
[How Syncek organizes your data](https://syncek.com/docs/core-concepts/data-model) shows where the two
sit above objects and records.

A workspace is where the work happens, and nothing in one shows up in another:

- records, and the objects, attributes and lists that hold them;
- views, imports and exports;
- members, each with their own [role](https://syncek.com/docs/get-started/roles-and-permissions) in that
  workspace.

Every new workspace starts with the same four objects: **Leads**, **Contacts**,
**Accounts** and **Opportunities**. A role covers a whole workspace and there is no
permission on a single record, so a second workspace is how one team's records
stay out of another team's sight.

## Switching workspace

Click the workspace's name at the top of the sidebar, then **Switch workspace**,
and pick one. The list holds the workspaces you belong to, with a check mark on the
one you are in, and a search box once there are eight or more. Syncek reloads on
that workspace's **Dashboard**.

## Every workspace in the organization

**Settings, then Organization, then Workspaces** lists all of them, including the
ones you are not in, with **Members**, **Role** and **Joined** columns. **Filter**
narrows the list to **Mine** or **Others**. On a workspace you belong to, the menu
at the end of the row has **Switch to workspace** and **Leave workspace**. To open
a workspace you are not in, someone has to add you to it.

## Creating a workspace

Organization Admins and the Owner click **Create workspace** on that page. The
**Switch workspace** list ends in the same entry, which leads there; everyone else
sees **Browse workspaces** instead. Give the workspace a **Name**. Its **Slug**
follows the name until you edit it, and no other workspace in Syncek can have the
same one. You become the new workspace's Owner, and Syncek switches you into it.

## Renaming a workspace

Admins and the Owner rename a workspace in **Settings, then Workspace, then
General**, which holds its **Picture**, **Name** and **Slug**. Changes save as you
type, with no save button. Members and Guests cannot change them.

## Leaving or deleting a workspace

- **Leave workspace**, in the row menu on **Settings, then Organization, then
  Workspaces**, takes you out once you confirm. A workspace's Owner cannot leave
  it. Leaving your last workspace takes you out of the organization too, which the
  organization's Owner cannot do.
- **Delete workspace**, under **Danger zone** in **Settings, then Workspace, then
  General**, is for the workspace's Owner only. Type the workspace's slug, pick a
  reason and click **Permanently delete workspace**. Everything in the workspace
  is deleted and cannot be recovered. An organization keeps at least one
  workspace, so its last one cannot be deleted. Anyone for whom it was the only
  workspace leaves the organization, except the organization's Owner.
