Configured in Workspace settings (top-right)

What can you configure?

Workspace name and description
Workspace image
Workspace contacts
Storage connections
External services

Workspace settings General page with Workspace image, Name, and Description fields and a settings menu on the left

Workspace roles

Fabric workspace roles from most to least access: Admin, Member, Contributor, and Viewer

Admin: manage workspace and permissions

Member: create items and manage some permissions

Contributor: create and modify items

Viewer: read content only

What different roles see

Workspace toolbar as a Contributor sees it, with Workspace settings but no Manage access button

Viewers do not see Workspace settings
Contributors see Workspace settings
Members and Admins see Manage access

Ownership and sharing

Workspace access: gives access to workspace content
Creator: item owner
Sharing: access to one item; read by default

An owner shares one Sales Report with three users, while a workspace role gives access to all workspace items

Endorsement

Types of endorsement:
- Promoted: ready for others to use
- Certified: passed organizational review
- Master data: core organizational data

Three endorsement badges that show which items to trust: Promoted, Certified, and Master data

Let's practice!
