• Manager Hierarchy Utilization: Workspaces rely on the existing manager hierarchy to establish visibility boundaries. This means you can effectively reuse the structures you’ve already set up for those groups. Managers will only have access to the content that is explicitly shared with them, rather than the entire content library of the account.
• Role Delegation: Account Admins can delegate responsibilities within Workspaces by assigning Workspace Admin and Workspace Author roles. This allows designated users to manage content, track reports, and oversee people within each workspace.
• Multi-Workspace Management: If you have users who need to supervise multiple workspaces, you can easily assign them Workspace Admin roles across various workspaces. This avoids the need for multiple logins and helps save on Bridge licenses.
• Reduced Administrative Burden: Workspaces simplify user management by eliminating the need to maintain multiple subaccounts. This results in less administrative overhead and a more streamlined user experience.
• Collaboration Features: For organizations using Perform, Workspaces enable users to collaborate effectively through Bridge features such as checking profiles, conducting one-on-ones, and managing group agendas, ensuring that team members are not siloed.

Workspaces can be particularly beneficial in the following scenarios:

• Targeted Content Management: If you want specific admins or authors to oversee and manage content for particular manager groups, Workspaces provide the ideal framework.
• Progress Reporting: Workspaces enable managers’ assistants to report on the learning progress of their team members efficiently.
• Cross-Organizational Collaboration: If you aim to facilitate collaboration among users outside of their immediate organization, Workspaces can support this goal effectively.
• Flexible Separation Needs: If you don’t require the high level of separation that subaccounts provide, Workspaces serve as a suitable alternative.

Before implementing Workspaces, consider the following limitations:

• Manager Dependency: Workspaces are tied to the manager hierarchy, meaning you cannot currently leverage smart groups for visibility.
• Limited Configuration Options: Workspaces do not allow for separate single sign-on (SSO), auto CSV, or unique login IDs.
• Inherited Themes: Workspaces inherit the main account’s theme, which means you cannot apply a different theme specific to the workspace.

Workspaces in Bridge offer a versatile and efficient way to manage users and content within your main account. By leveraging existing manager structures and providing targeted visibility, Workspaces simplify administration while promoting collaboration. Assess your organization’s needs to determine if Workspaces are the right fit for enhancing your learning and development initiatives.
