Workspace Overview

This topic describes the following details about workspaces:

• What Is a Workspace?
• General Rules for Workspaces

Actions you can do:

• Creating a Workspace: Workspaces are top-level operation platform in SecMaster. A workspace can be associated with general projects, regions, and enterprise projects to meet different security operations needs. Before using baseline inspection, alert management, security analysis, and security orchestration in SecMaster, you need to create at least one workspace first. You can use workspaces to group your resources by application scenario. This will make security operations more efficient.
• Viewing a Workspace: You can view the details about a workspace, including its name, type, and creation time.
• Editing a Workspace: You can modify the workspace basic settings, including its name and description.
• Deleting a Workspace: If you no longer need a workspace, you can delete it. After a workspace is deleted, SecMaster may be unable to detect security risks of assets managed in the workspace. So the risk of those assets may fail to be prevented. Deleted workspaces cannot be restored. Exercise caution when performing this operation.
• Managing Workspace Tags: After creating a workspace, you can add, edit, and delete tags configured for the workspace. A tag consists of a key-value pair. Tags are used to identify, and classify workspaces. Workspace tags are used for workspace management only.
• Creating a Workspace Agency: You can create a workspace agency to perform cross-account secure operations. In this way, you can centrally view asset risks, alerts, and incidents in workspaces of other users. You can create agencies to authorize other users to manage your workspaces in a project. In this way, asset risks, alerts, and incidents across workspaces can be centrally managed for security operations.
• Managing Agencies: On the Agencies page, you can manage agency views, workspaces you are managing for others, and agencies managing your workspaces.
  • Agency Views: On this tab, you can view all agency views you create and their details. You can view, edit, modify, and delete an agency view, as well as delete agency views in batches.
  • Workspaces Managed by Me: On this tab, you can view workspaces managed in the agency view you create. You can check tasks managed by you and task parameters, and manage (accept, reject, release, and delete) tasks managed by you.
  • My Workspaces Managed by Others: On this tab, you can view which agency views are managing workspaces you create. You can view parameters related to the agency views, modify accepted agency tasks, withdraw accepted agency tasks, request for agencies again, release an agency, and delete agency tasks.
