Workspace builder

What it is

Workspace builder is the only workspace-wide capability a Company employee can hold. There is exactly one toggle, and one effect:

Workspace builder ON → this Company employee can create new organizations under your workspace. Workspace builder OFF → they cannot create organizations; they can only work inside the organizations you've already created and added them to.

That's the whole feature — a single, clear, workspace-wide toggle.

Who can grant it

  • Workspace owners can grant or revoke Workspace builder on any Company employee in their workspace.
  • Organization Managers cannot grant it — it's workspace-level, not organization-level.
  • Owners don't need it for themselves: workspace owners can already create organizations.
  • It can never be granted to an Independent user — Independent accounts never get workspace-wide capabilities.

Who it applies to

Only Company-account employees. The toggle doesn't appear at all when editing an Independent user.

What happens when it's ON

  • A Create organization option appears for that employee in the sidebar.
  • They can run the create-organization steps and set up a new organization under your workspace.
  • The new organization belongs to your workspace, not to the employee personally.
  • The employee is automatically added as Owner of the new organization, so they can set it up immediately.
  • Workspace owners are also attached as Owners of the new organization, so they keep visibility and control.

What happens when it's OFF

  • The Create organization option is hidden for that employee.
  • They can still see and use every organization they've been added to.

Step by step — granting it

  1. Open Team in the sidebar.
  2. Click the employee's name to open their edit page.
  3. Find the Portal Controls section.
  4. Toggle Workspace builder on (or off).
  5. Save. The change is immediate.

What it is NOT

  • Not a per-organization role. Roles (Owner / Manager / Member) are completely separate and sit alongside this toggle. Workspace builder ON does NOT make someone an Owner of every organization — only of organizations they create themselves.
  • Not a "make admin" button. It does not grant access to Workspace Settings, billing, or team management. Those remain workspace-owner rights.
  • Not for Independent accounts. Independent users never hold it.
