Accessing Workspaces

This page covers how Site Administrators, Workspace Administrators, and Workspace users reach Workspace resources across each interface. See Workspaces for an overview of what Workspaces are.

Web Interface

Site Administrators access Workspaces by switching between them from the Web Interface. Workspace Administrators and Workspace users see only their assigned Workspace when they log in.

API

Site Administrators can specify a Workspace context on API requests by including the Workspace ID. This scopes the request to that Workspace's resources without removing the Site Administrator's broader authority. Workspace Administrators authenticate and interact with the API normally. Their API access is automatically scoped to their assigned Workspace.

CLI

The Files.com CLI supports Workspace access. Workspace Administrators and users interact with their Workspace resources through standard CLI commands, automatically scoped to their Workspace.

Terraform

Workspaces can be provisioned, updated, and managed through the Files.com Terraform provider. This supports infrastructure-as-code workflows where Workspaces are managed alongside other site resources.

File Transfer Protocols

Users who belong to a Workspace access their Workspace files through FTP, SFTP, and WebDAV. The Workspace boundary constrains the visible file system to the Workspace root.

Desktop and Mobile Apps

Workspace users access their Workspace files through the Desktop App and Mobile App. Users see only the files and folders within their assigned Workspace.
