How to Use/Switch Workspaces

Background​

Workspaces are a way to organize datasets and Pennsieve users into groups. A workspace is only accessible through invitation from the workspace Owner or Administrator. Once part of a workspace you can access datasets based on your access rights. Your access rights are determined by your Workspace Role. For more information on Workspace Roles and workpsace management see the official Pennsieve documentation here.

How SODA for SPARC Handles Workspaces​

SODA for SPARC will automatically utilize your default workspace after you have connected your account with Pennsieve. If you have access to only one workspace then that workspace is your default workspace. If you have access to multiple workspaces then in most cases the default workspace is the workspace you last accessed on Pennsieve. Any work you do in SODA for SPARC will be done for a dataset in your default workspace.
