Important Terms to Understand
- The Blink Organization is a logical entity provided to an organization subscribing to Blink Ops.
- A Workspace in Blink, is a compartment within the Blink Organization that organizes hyperautomation resources. An organization can have multiple workspaces, each designed for specific functions. Workspaces are independent, with no hierarchical connections between them, ensuring that each workspace operates separately. Each workspace manages its own set of resources, which can be shared with other workspaces if needed. Access to resources within a workspace is controlled by RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) scopes, which are linked to [user roles][def].
- RBAC Scopes, defined per workspace, govern the ability of a particular user or API client to perform specific operations on specific resources. Each scope is evaluated separately in each workspace. The list of available scopes can be found in our documentation. As new features and functionality is added to the product, new scopes are created.
- User Roles, defined per workspace, are aggregations of scopes within the relevant workspace that allow users assigned to the role to perform specific tasks. Every workspace has a set of predefined user roles, with the option to define customized roles .To learn more about User Roles please navigate the User Role’s Section of our documentation.
- A Personal Workspace is a workspace associated with exactly one user, where the workspace’s internal identifier matches the user’s name.
