Workspace Types
Workspace types differ in terms of privacy settings. They can be open to all KanBo users or require an invitation.
There are three workspace types:
The last two types require KanBo to be connected to the Microsoft Teams app.
Private workspaces
The most common type of workspace is a private workspace. From all people in the organization, the workspace owner must manually select KanBo users to add to the workspace.
Example: Each company department, like Finances should have its own private workspace.
MS Teams connected workspaces
Two other types of workspaces are available when KanBo is combined with the Microsoft Teams application. Workspaces correspond to teams. This means that joining a particular team is the same as joining the corresponding workspace in KanBo.
What’s more, documents that appear in those teams will automatically find their way into the corresponding KanBo workspaces, and the other way around.
Public workspaces
Users can join public workspaces independently whenever they want. To do so, they must find this workspace through the Teams application, where it has its equivalent in the form of the Team. As a result of joining the Team, the user also becomes the workspace member.
Example: It’s a useful type of workspace for voluntary topics, e.g. Company events.
Org-wide workspaces
Org-wide is the type of workspace that allows all users to be automatically added as members.
Example: Use this type of workspace if you want to automatically make it visible to all organization users, e.g. Company news.
