Space Types
Space types differ in terms of privacy settings. They can be open to all workspace users, require a selection from among them, or even allow people outside the organization to be invited.
This means that you can define the users of each space within the workspace independently.
There are three space types:
The last two types require KanBo to be connected to the Microsoft Teams app.
Standard spaces
The most common type of space is a standard space. All workspace users join it automatically during the space creation.
Example: If you don’t want to narrow the user base, choose this option, e.g. Work schedule space.
MS Teams connected spaces
Two other types of spaces are available when KanBo is combined with the Microsoft Teams application. Spaces correspond to channels. This means that joining a particular channel is the same as joining the corresponding space in KanBo.
What’s more, documents that appear in those channels will automatically find their way into the corresponding KanBo spaces, and the other way around.
Private spaces
Private spaces allow for narrowing the user base. Space owners can decide which workspace users will join and even see it.
Example: Frontend space inside the IT workspace.
Shared spaces
Shared space is the type of space that allows space owners to add any user they need, not only from the workspace, not only from the organization but also from the outside.
Example: Use this type of space when you need to hire additional subcontractors, e.g. Video commercial space.
