Overview
Workspaces, teams, folders, and access in Fuser.
A workspace is your shared home in Fuser — the umbrella that holds everyone you collaborate with, every project you build, and the rules for who sees what. Inside a workspace you can group people into teams, organize projects into folders, and control access at every level.
This section covers everything from creating a workspace to administering its policies.
The Hierarchy
Fuser organizes work in four nested layers. Each layer scopes the one below it.
- Workspace — your account in Fuser. Holds members, billing, and workspace-wide settings.
- Team — a named slice of a workspace with its own members and folders.
- Folder — a named container for projects. Lives in a team, or at the workspace root.
- Project — a single flow on the canvas.
A typical workspace looks like this — projects sit at the workspace root, inside a workspace folder, inside a team, or inside a team's folder.
You switch between workspaces from the button in the top bar of the home page.
Opening it reveals every workspace you belong to, plus your profile, settings, and an entry to create a new one.
Why this hierarchy?
Workspaces handle billing and identity. Teams scope collaboration so a designer in one team doesn't see another team's drafts. Folders give each team a way to organize its own work. Projects stay focused on the flow itself.
Glossary
A few terms you'll see throughout this section. They map to what's on screen — no internal jargon. Where an icon appears next to a term, it's the same icon you'll see in the app.
| Term | What it means | |
|---|---|---|
| Workspace | Your account in Fuser. Holds members, billing, settings, and everything you create. | |
| Workspace root | The top level of your workspace, outside any folder or team. Projects placed here are visible to everyone in the workspace, with the workspace root access level. | |
| Team | A named slice of your workspace (e.g. Brand, Motion) with its own members and folders. | |
| Folder | A named container for projects. Lives at the workspace root or inside a team. | |
| Project | A single Fuser document. The flow you actually work in on the canvas. | |
| Draft | A project that's private to its creator and workspace admins. Hidden from teammates until you publish or share it. | |
| Published | A project that's open to its surrounding context — its team, its folder, or the workspace root. | |
| Visibility | Where a thing lives and who can see it. Applies to projects (Draft / Published), folders (Private / Team), and teams (Open / Closed / Private). | |
| Default access | The access level a folder or workspace root gives by default: View, Edit, or (folders only) Inherit from the workspace root. | |
| Share | An explicit grant to a person, email, or team that adds access on top of whatever they'd get by default. Shares only add access, never remove it. | |
| Role | Workspace roles are Owner, Admin, Member. Team roles are Manager, Member. | |
| Access level | What you can do once you have access: View (read), Comment (read + comment, share-only), or Edit (read/write). |
