What is a workspace?
A workspace is the container that holds one context repository along with its members, sources, and clients. Each workspace has exactly one context repository, and everything else in Qontext, roles, connected sources, API keys, synced data, sits inside that one workspace.
Why workspaces exist
A company's context and the people or systems allowed to touch it need a boundary. Without one, there'd be no natural place to draw the line around who counts as a member, which sources feed into which repository, or which clients can reach what. A workspace is that boundary: one repository, one set of members and roles, one set of connected sources and clients, all governed together.
How do workspaces work?
Every workspace has one owner, who has full control including the ability to delete the workspace itself, plus any number of admins and members with their own permissions. Inside it sits the workspace's single context repository, built from whatever sources get connected and refined by whoever has access to edit it. Initial build time for that repository scales with the workspace: small workspaces typically finish in minutes, while large ones with many sources can take longer.
