Workspace setup
Create a workspace boundary that gives approvals, evidence, and ownership a real operating home.
Use this page when
Read this page when you are creating the first production workspace or cleaning up an inherited one.
What setup defines
Workspace setup fixes five things that every later control depends on:
- tenant identity
- workspace members and owners
- approval owners
- evidence destinations
- the first governance boundary
Before you begin
Have these answers ready before you create or reconfigure the workspace:
- which team or business unit owns it
- which people approve risky actions
- where proof and export artifacts should land
- whether this workspace is for production, staging, or evaluation
Do this
- Create or select the workspace that matches a real operating unit.
- Assign the initial owners and reviewers.
- Confirm the evidence and export destinations.
- Run one low-risk governed path and verify the receipts land in the same workspace.
What success looks like
Setup is complete when you can explain, in one sentence, who owns the workspace, who reviews risky actions, and where the evidence goes.
Common mistakes
- creating one shared workspace for unrelated teams
- testing approvals before owners are assigned
- exporting evidence to a destination that is not reviewed by the same team
