​
Workspace roles and access

Each workspace has its own member list. A person’s role determines what they can do inside that workspace. Atlan combines workspace roles with organization-level permissions when deciding which controls to show.

​
Change someone’s role

Workspace owners and admins can change another member’s role from the Members card. See Manage workspace members for the steps. Your own role is read-only in the member list. Ask another workspace admin to change it.

​
Join a workspace

When a workspace allows self-join, Atlan shows Join workspace on its profile. Joining adds you with the Member role. If the button is absent, ask a workspace owner or admin to add you. Atlan does not provide a request-access workflow for that workspace.

​
Leave a workspace

  1. Open the workspace in Settings.
  2. Open the workspace action menu beside Edit details.
  3. Select Leave workspace.
  4. Confirm by selecting Leave.
After leaving, the workspace no longer appears in your Settings list. A workspace admin can add you again.
The last admin cannot leave, be removed, or be changed to another role. Assign the Admin role to another member first.

​
Personal workspaces

A personal workspace has one owner and no member-management controls. It cannot be joined, left, or deleted.
