Spaces
Spaces are areas in the hub where apps are stored. Spaces can be personal, shared, or managed.
All users have a personal space where apps they create are stored by default. Personal spaces are private. You can share your personal apps by moving them to a shared space.
Users with the Shared Space Creator role can create shared spaces. Shared spaces are private when first created. Shared spaces allow collaborative development of apps. Spaces also limit access to apps in the space. Access to apps in the space is granted by adding members to the space.
Managed spaces can be created by tenant or analytics administrators, or users with the Managed Space Creator role. Managed spaces are used to provide strictly controlled access to apps that might have sensitive data. Apps are developed in other spaces and then published to the managed space.
You can select spaces to which you have access to from the drop-down in Catalog. You can also create new spaces from the spaces drop-down.
For information on spaces, see Working in spaces.
