Managing workspaces
Updated in 2025
You use workspaces (formerly referred to as data segments) to limit a user's ability to access certain modules and components in Alloy Navigator.
NOTE: By default, all Alloy Navigator objects are associated with the IT workspace. Any security role member is granted with access to this workspace. If you want to change the default settings, make up your own list of workspaces, modify security roles and manage business processes according to the needs of your organization. For details, see Administration Guide: Managing Workspaces.
TIP: Although workspaces are specific classifiers that you use for controlling the access scope of security role members, they share similar properties and can be treated similar to other classification entities. For details on classification entities, see Setting up classification.

For details, see Viewing fields' usage in workflow.
