# Setting Up Your Workspace

> How to create and configure a new workspace in ALK.

### Overview

This guide walks you through creating and configuring a workspace in ALK. Workspaces allow you to control what different team members can see and access. You need Owner or Admin access at the organisation level to create a workspace.

### Before You Start

* You must be the Entity Owner or Admin to create workspaces
* The first person to sign up for your organisation automatically becomes the Owner
* Every organisation has a default workspace created automatically — this cannot be deleted

### Getting Started

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the sidebar">
    On your ALK dashboard, click **Toggle Sidebar**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open Settings">
    At the bottom of the sidebar, click **Settings**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select Workspaces">
    Under Settings, select **Workspaces**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a workspace">
    Here, you can manage your existing workspaces or create a new one. Click **Add workspace**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Name the workspace">
    Enter a name for the workspace.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select an admin">
    Select an admin, which can be you.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a description">
    Add a description in the **Description** field.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create the workspace">
    When you are done, click **Create Workspace**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm creation">
    Your new workspace will appear below.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Invite your team">
    With the workspace created, you can now invite your team. See [Inviting & Managing Team Members](/admin/inviting-managing-team-members) for the full guide.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### Important Notes

* Only Entity Owners and Admins can create workspaces. Workspace Admins cannot create new workspaces, they only manage the ones they've been assigned to.
* The default workspace cannot be deleted by anyone, including the Entity Owner.
