Workspaces & Orgs: An Overview

Latch Workspaces are collaborative environments where teams can manage projects, share data, and utilize Latch’s bioinformatics tools.

Latch Organizations provide a higher-level management structure for multiple workspaces.

​

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…

• Create and oversee multiple workspaces under a unified organization.
• Grant organization members with owner-level permissions across all managed workspaces.
• View comprehensive billing that aggregates usage across all managed workspaces.
• Transfer credits between workspaces to manage resources across projects.

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.
