What are Workspaces?

In Workspaces you can…
  • Manage your team members and their access to the workspace as well as workspace-specific billing, including credit balance and usage across Latch products.
  • Share data with your team and organize data within the workspace.
  • Run and manage workflows for efficient bioinformatics analyses within the workspace.
  • Utilize Latch Pods for compute and containerized tools, and access the Registry for metadata labeling.
Use a Workspace when:
  • You’re working on a single project or with one team.
  • You need to manage and allocate resources for a specific initiative.
  • You require fine-grained control over access permissions for different team members within a project.

What are Organizations?

In Organizations you can…
Use an Organization when:
  • You’re overseeing multiple projects, customers, or teams, each requiring its own workspace.
  • You need a high-level view of resource usage and billing across workspaces.
  • You want to easily transfer credits between workspaces.

Permissions

Within a Latch Organization, you can be an Admin or a Member. Within a Latch Workspace, you can be an Admin, Member, or Viewer.
NOTE: All members of an Organization automatically have Owner permissions for all its child workspaces. If you want to limit someone’s permissions, add them only to the specific workspaces where you want them to have access.
