Workspaces & organisations
Permaura nests four things. You rarely think about all of them, but knowing the shape makes every settings page obvious.
- You — your personal login and profile.
- Organisation — the billing entity. Your plan, payment method, invoices, and members live here. A personal account is just an organisation with one member: you.
- Workspace — an isolated environment with its own connections, agents, policies, grants, and audit log. Keep personal and work apart, or give each project its own.
- Gateway — one per workspace, the thing that actually holds keys and runs calls.
Switching context
Two switchers sit at the top of the console sidebar:
- The organisation switcher appears when you belong to more than one org (for example, after a teammate invites you to theirs).
- The workspace switcher appears when your plan allows more than one workspace. Switching re-scopes the whole console to that workspace's gateway and data.
Where settings live
Settings are split in two, matching the hierarchy:
| You're changing… | Go to | Contains |
|---|---|---|
| Your account or your organisation | Settings (the avatar menu → Settings, /settings) | Profile, Password & security, Billing, Members, Roles, Workspaces, organisation general |
| The current workspace | Workspace group in the console sidebar (/console/settings) | Gateway & remote access, workspace Members, approval Devices |
A quick rule of thumb: who pays and who you are lives in Settings; this environment's gateway and people live in the Workspace group.
Members and roles
Invite people to your organisation from Settings → Members, and shape what they can do under Settings → Roles & permissions (owner / admin / member, with role-based access on Team and up). Each workspace additionally has its own member list under the console's Workspace → Members, so you can give someone access to one workspace without handing them the whole org.
The number of workspaces and members you can create is set by your plan. Free is a single personal workspace; paid plans add more workspaces, and Team adds unlimited members with shared governance. See Plans & billing.
