The workspace defines the content and layout of WorkStation. The content and layout of the workspace can be adapted to users or user account groups different tasks.

You can create different workspaces for different user categories and link them to user account groups. A user has access to all workspaces linked to the user account groups in which the user is a member. This way, users can easily switch workspaces during a work session. For example, Paul, a member of the Administrators and Janitors user account groups, has access to the Administrator workspace and Janitor workspace.
