Properties of a Space
Every Space has the following properties:| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The display name shown in the sidebar and header |
| Slug | A URL-safe identifier used in all Collabase links (e.g. /spaces/engineering) |
| Icon | An optional icon that appears next to the Space name |
| Visibility | Controls who can see and access the Space (see below) |
| Mission statement | A short description of what the Space is for — shown on the cockpit |
| Cockpit | A configurable dashboard showing the Space’s activity, pages, members, and test results |
Visibility settings
| Setting | Who can access |
|---|---|
PRIVATE | Only members explicitly invited to the Space |
INTERNAL | All logged-in users on the platform |
PUBLIC | Anyone, including unauthenticated visitors |
Visibility controls discoverability and read access. Even in an
INTERNAL Space, only members with the appropriate Space role can create or edit content.Spaces are independent
Spaces do not share content with each other by default. Pages, test projects, automations, and member lists are all scoped to the Space they belong to. One team’s work does not bleed into another team’s Space. This isolation makes Spaces a reliable boundary for access control. You can grant a contractor access to one Space without exposing anything else on the platform.Apps available in a Space
Each Space gives its members access to four apps. The apps available depend on which ones have been enabled in the Space settings.Docs
Collaborative wiki with rich-text pages, page trees, templates, and content status tracking.
Test Management
Test projects, suites, cases, runs, and result tracking — all linked to the documentation in the same Space.
Automation
Visual workflow builder for trigger-condition-action pipelines. Automations run in the context of the Space and respect Space permissions.
Intranet
Announcements and blog posts scoped to the Space — useful for project updates and team news.

Open the Space creation dialog
Click the “New Space” button in the left sidebar. You need the global
ADMIN role or the platform must be configured to allow MEMBER users to create Spaces.Fill in the Space details
Enter a name and optionally a slug, icon, and mission statement. The slug is generated from the name automatically but you can customize it. The slug cannot be changed after the Space is created.
Set the visibility
Choose
PRIVATE, INTERNAL, or PUBLIC based on who should have access. You can change visibility later in the Space settings.Enable apps
Select which apps to activate for this Space. You can enable or disable apps at any time from the Space settings.
Invite members
Add members and assign them Space roles. You can also grant access to a Group to onboard multiple people at once. See Permissions for details on roles.
