The most comon quastion when I create Workspace (for example "Organization") INTO what workspace create couple  anothes workspaces (for example "sales" , "accountant", "administration") and so on. And give for different users give different acess for example CEO have acces for "Organization" workspace what includes acces for all workspaces: "Organization", "sales", "accountant", "adminstration". And my sales meneger only for "sales" workspace. It's something like Folder and subfolder structure.

Sorry for my English, I hope you get the point.

Hi  @AndrejZevzikov ,

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Create four workspaces

2. Create four groups (Organization", "sales", "accountant", "adminstration) in the admin center, add the CEO to the four groups, and add the sales manager to the "sales" group,add the "accountant manager to the "accountant" group, and add the "administration manager to the "adminstration group".


Find Groups -Active group-Add a group, enter the group adding interface, set the name of the group, set the owner and member of this group, and click Finish to generate the group.

3. Place the four groups in the four WorkSpaces to facilitate unified management.

In the workspace setting, click Advanced, and put the newly added group into the entry.

Hi. I don't think you can create workspace with workspace or folders at all. You can consider "Organization" the whole tenant. Just create workspace Sales to share with sales team and ceo. That would work.
