Chapter 6. Workspaces
Workspaces allow you to select specific systems and group them together. You can view and manage the individual Workspaces and the system membership of each group. In addition, you can filter your system lists across applications by Workspaces. You can also manage user access to specific Workspaces to enhance security.
Workspaces have the following characteristics:
- Workspaces are only for systems.
- You cannot add Workspaces as children of another Workspace.
- Each system can belong to only one Workspace.
- Using Workspaces is not mandatory; systems that are not assigned to specific Workspaces can remain unassigned.
Additional resources
- For more information about user access, refer to User Access Guide for Role-based Access Control (RBAC).
- For more information about user access to Workspaces, refer to User access for RBAC in system inventory.

6.2. Adding systems to a newly created Workspace
Each system can belong to only one Workspace. In the current release of Workspaces, a system cannot be reassigned to a different group in a single step. You must first remove the system from its current group, and then assign it to a new group.

Select the systems you want to add to the Workspace.
NoteIf you select a system that already belongs to another Workspace, a warning message displays: One or more of the selected systems already belong to {a workspace}. Make sure that all the systems you have selected are ungrouped, or you will not be able to proceed.
- When you have finished selecting systems, click Add systems. The Workspaces page displays and includes the systems you added to the group.
6.2.1. Adding a system and creating a group from the Inventory systems page
