# Assign a workspace

A [role](/docs/team-support/manage-team) decides what a team member can do; an assignment decides _where_ they can do it. Until you assign a workspace to someone, it does not appear in their account at all. Assignments are made from the workspace's own menu, one workspace at a time, and take effect immediately.

## Assign a workspace to a member

1.  On the **Workspaces** page, open the **⋯** menu on the workspace card.
2.  Choose **Assign Workspace**. The dialog is headed _Assign ''_.
3.  Find the member in the list and switch on the toggle in the **Assign Workspace** column.
4.  Close the dialog. The member sees the workspace next time they load their account.

A member sees only the workspaces assigned to them, which is how one account runs a public site and a private handbook side by side.

What they can then do inside it is governed entirely by their role. An Editor assigned a workspace can edit its pages but cannot publish them; a Creator can publish. Assigning a workspace never grants a permission the role does not already carry.

## Unassign a workspace

Switch the same toggle off. The workspace disappears from that member's account immediately – there is no confirmation step and no grace period. Nothing in the workspace is deleted; drafts and edits they made stay exactly where they are.

## Who appears in the list

The dialog lists team members who need to be granted access, which means two groups are deliberately missing:

*   **Owners.** The account Owner already has every permission on every workspace, so there is nothing to assign.
*   **You.** You are looking at the workspace, so you already have access to it.

If the list is empty you will see _"No team member exists. Please add one from Team page to assign."_ – invite someone first from [Manage your team](/docs/team-support/manage-team).

## Limits and plan requirements

*   **Assign Workspace** appears in the workspace menu only if you are an **Owner** or an **Admin**. Creators and Editors do not see it.
*   It also requires an active subscription.
*   Assignments are per workspace. There is no bulk "assign all" action – repeat the steps for each workspace a member needs.
