Managing Workspaces

Workspaces are the outermost container in Gryphin. They group boards, members, integrations, and billing — pick a structure once and your team scales effortlessly.

5 min readUpdated May 2026

Overview

Each workspace has its own boards, members, branding, integrations, and (on paid plans) its own bill. Most teams need just one — but consulting agencies, multi-brand companies, and large orgs often run several.

The workspace switcher — every workspace you belong to, one click away.

Creating workspaces

1

Click the workspace name in the sidebar

A dropdown opens with all your workspaces and a "+ New workspace" option at the bottom.

2

Pick a clear name

Use your company or brand. Avoid generic names like "Stuff" or "Team" — these get confusing across multi-workspace lists.

3

Add a description (optional)

A short line helps members understand the purpose. Surfaces on the dashboard and switcher.

4

Set the default board visibility

New boards inherit this. Most teams pick "Workspace-visible" so new boards are discoverable internally.

5

Invite founding members

You can add more later, but the inviter sets the tone — start with people who'll actually use it.

Workspace settings

Name & description

Update anytime. Changes propagate to every member instantly.

Logo & branding

Upload a workspace logo and pick an accent color. Shows in emails, share links, and the sidebar.

Default visibility

New boards default to this level. Override per-board anytime.

Member permissions

Control who can create boards, invite members, or change settings — separate from role.

Archive workspace

Pause without losing data. Boards become read-only; billing stops on the next cycle.

Plan & billing

Each workspace is billed independently. Switch plans, view invoices, manage payment method.

Tip
Click your workspace name in the sidebar to switch quickly between workspaces. Recent workspaces float to the top.

When to use multiple workspaces

One workspace is usually enough. Add another when you genuinely need separate billing, branding, or membership boundaries:

Client work

One workspace per client keeps boards and members isolated — and bills cleanly per engagement.

Multi-brand companies

Different brands often need different branding, members, and SSO domains. Separate workspaces handle this naturally.

Personal + work

Keep your private side projects out of your work account. Free Personal workspaces are unlimited.

Subsidiaries

Holding companies often run one workspace per subsidiary with shared admins at the top.

Stuck choosing a structure?

Our team has set up workspaces for everyone from 3-person startups to 5,000-person enterprises. We can usually recommend a structure in under 10 minutes.
