Workspaces and members
A workspace is the container for everything you make on Endless — and the people you make it with.
A workspace is where your work lives. Chats, canvases, assets, transcripts, projects, skills, connectors and the credits that pay for all of it belong to one workspace — never to you personally. Leave a workspace and you keep your Endless account but lose access to its contents; delete a workspace and its chats, canvases, transcripts and assets go with it.
Most people only ever need one. You can belong to several — an agency with a workspace per client, a company with one for marketing and one for product — and they share nothing.
What a workspace owns
The work
Chats, canvases, assets, transcripts and projects. Everything you make in the workspace stays in it.
The credits
One shared pool that pays for generation, transcription and chat. See Credits and spending.
The people
Members, their roles, their teams, and any spending limits set on them.
The rules
Which models and features the workspace may use, and the roles that decide who does what.
Belonging to a workspace does not mean seeing everything in it. Most of what people make starts private. Assets and visibility is the page that explains who can see what.
Everyone has a role
Every member holds one role — Admin, Member, Billing manager or Viewer — and that role decides what they can do. The four roles work the same way in every workspace today:
- Admin — everything. Admin is fixed at full access; it is the one role that can't be narrowed, which is what stops a workspace locking itself out of its own settings.
- Member — the everyday role. Create and edit work, and delete their own.
- Billing manager — billing, and nothing else. For a finance contact who shouldn't have operational access.
- Viewer — look, don't touch. No administration, and no spending the workspace's credits.
Everything administrative — inviting people, changing roles, editing the workspace's settings, governing which models and features it may use — belongs to Admin.
The workspace is in the address
Every page you open carries its workspace in the URL. That means two browser tabs can hold two different workspaces at the same time — one for each client, side by side — and neither knocks the other out.
Nothing about that is manual: open a link, switch workspace from the switcher, or open a second workspace in a new tab, and each tab keeps to its own. It also means a link you copy from Endless carries its workspace with it, so a teammate who follows it lands in the right place.
The workspace's own address is under Settings → Workspace, in the URL field. Anyone can open that page and read it, but the Name and URL are editable only by someone who can change workspace settings — an admin, by default. Without that, both fields are greyed out and no Save button appears. Changing the URL changes the links people bookmark, so change it early or not at all.
Finding people: the member directory
Members is the workspace's people directory. It is a place to look things up, not to change them — there is no invite button and no way to edit anyone from it. You reach it by selecting a person anywhere in the app: their mention card in a chat, or their row in Settings → Members.
- Search with "Search members…", or filter by team.
- Select a row to open that person's profile. It opens on Activity (what they've been doing) and Assets (the work of theirs you're allowed to see). A third tab, Access (which features, models and skills are turned on for them), appears only for people who can read governance — so most members never see it.
Because the directory obeys the same visibility rules as everything else, the Assets tab shows you only what that person has shared or that you can already reach — not their private work.
Administering people: Settings → Members
Everything that changes a person lives in Settings → Members, described in the product as "Invite members, manage roles, and see how each person is spending the workspace credits."
Anyone in the workspace can open it, and everyone sees the same roster — including the credits each person has used this cycle against their limit, so overspend is visible before it is a surprise. What changes with your role is the controls, and they are hidden rather than refused: if your role doesn't carry the permission, the button simply isn't there.
- Invite someone by email — needs the permission to invite and remove members, which only an admin holds by default. It is also greyed out once the workspace has filled its plan's seats, which pending invitations count towards.
- Change a member's role — needs the permission to manage roles and permissions. Nobody can hand out more than they hold: only an admin can make another admin.
- Set a personal spending limit or assign someone to a team — the invite-and-remove permission again. The limit field explains itself: "Maximum credits this member can use per billing cycle. Leave empty for unlimited."
- Remove someone from the workspace — same permission. Leaving the workspace yourself is on your own row and always available, whatever your role.
So a Member or a Viewer who opens this page gets the roster and the spending figures, and none of the controls above.
These two pages look similar and do very different things. Members is read-only lookup. Settings → Members is administration, and its actions need permission — inviting and removing people, and changing roles, are separate permissions that only an admin holds by default. See Roles and permissions.
Two rules worth knowing up front
Admins are not omniscient
An admin runs the workspace, but no role comes with the right to read a member's private assets — see Assets and visibility.
A workspace always keeps an admin
The last admin can't be demoted or removed, so a workspace can never lock itself out of its own settings.
