- In the left navigation pane of the Admin portal, choose Tenant settings.
- Scroll down to the Workspace settings section.
- Expand the Create workspaces option.
- Enable Workspace Creation:
- The setting may initially be Disabled. Toggle the switch to Enabled.
- You’ll see two options:

Important Considerations
- Tenant-Level Scope: Enabling workspace creation at the tenant level provides broad access. Ensure you understand the implications before proceeding.
- Security Groups (Optional): Use security groups for more granular control over workspace creation.
- Governance Policies: Align workspace creation with your organization’s data management and security policies.
- Multiple Tenants: Repeat these steps for each tenant that requires workspace creation access.
