Workspace Management¶

The workspace is the basic operational unit for Guance. Within the Guance workspace, you can use the diverse functions provided by the Guance. Workspace management refers to the settings, management, and operations performed on the current workspace. After joining a workspace and being assigned permissions, you can manage the basic information of the workspace, member permissions, SSO, data permissions, API Key, notification targets, built-in views, chart and snapshot sharing, etc.

The following sections will guide you from the personal account level on how to register and log in to your account, ensure the security of your account, and customize the appearance of your workspace.

Note: After setting a new time zone, all workspaces in which your current account is located will be displayed according to the set time zone. Please proceed with caution.
