Managing Organizations and
Workspaces
The majority of Lab Manager operations occur in organizations and workspaces.
Organizations can have workspaces that represent different business units or different functional groups.
An administrator with rights at the organization level manages a variety of operations in an organization.
See "Roles and Rights" on page 149 for more information on these roles and their rights.
A workspace consists of one or more configurations and users, groups, and resource pools that belong to that
workspace. Administrators with rights at the workspace level can create, delete, edit, or add a virtual machine;
deploy or undeploy fenced (and unfenced) machines; and add or remove resource pools. See "Setting Up
Organizations and Workspaces" on page 27 for more information on creating a workspace.
