# Overview

> Workspaces are the foundational organizational unit in Dify: everything your team builds, configures, and manages exists within a workspace

A workspace is your team's complete AI environment in Dify. It contains and isolates everything your organization needs: applications, knowledge bases, team members, model configurations, and integrations.

## The Workspace Mental Model

Every resource in Dify belongs to a workspace. When you create an app, it inherits the workspace's model configurations. When you add team members, they get access to workspace resources based on their role. When you configure models or install integrations, they become available to the entire workspace.

This workspace-first design means your resources are completely isolated from other organizations, team members can only access what they're permitted to see, and you configure models once for the entire workspace.

## Workspace Creation

One workspace is created during installation, with the administrator email and password set during setup.

<Tip>
  On Dify Enterprise, you can run multiple workspaces for complete isolation between legal entities, regulatory environments, or client projects. [Contact sales](https://udify.app/chat/QuwcpW1oBNcfeL55) to learn more.

## How Resources Connect

Applications you build can use any model providers configured in the workspace, access all workspace knowledge bases, and use installed integrations. Team members see applications based on their workspace permissions.

Workspace roles determine access across all resources:

* **Owners** control model providers and workspace settings
* **Admins** manage team members and configure models and integrations
* **Editors** build applications and manage knowledge bases
* **Members** use published applications
