Manage team resources

Team resources are available on Postman Enterprise plans.

Team workspaces enable you to share projects with collaborators and manage access to them within your team. As a Super Admin or Team Admin, you can manage resources in your team workspaces, enabling you to align your team workspaces with your organizational goals. You can manage which team members can create team workspaces. You can also manage whether Collection Editors can share collections with external users in team workspaces.

Team workspaces in Postman

A team workspace is a type of workspace that enables you to share projects with collaborators and manage access to them within your team. To learn how to create team workspaces, see Organize your projects in Postman using workspaces.

Manage team workspaces

As a Super Admin or Team Admin, you can limit or prohibit creation of new team workspaces by users on your team.

Fellow Super Admins and Team Admins can always create team workspaces. For other team members, you can specify which users and groups have permission to create team workspaces.

If you specify users and groups, all other team members will require approval to create team workspaces. A Super Admin, Team Admin, or user with permission to create team workspaces can approve a request. The workspace's visibility will be set to private until the request is approved.

If you give all team members permission to create team workspaces, team members won't need approval to create team workspaces.

Partners and Guests can't create team workspaces.

Manage sharing collections with external users

As a Super Admin or Team Admin, you can allow or prohibit Collection Editors from sharing collections with external users in team workspaces. Learn more about sharing collections with external users.

Select Team > Team Settings in the Postman header, select Team resources in the sidebar, then select Collections. To manage whether Collection Editors can share collections with external users, select the toggle next to Allow Editors to share collections with Guests. By default, Collection Editors are allowed to share collections with external users.

Allow Editors to share collections with Guests

When you allow this, Collection Editors can choose whether external users can view a specific collection and send requests in that collection. External users are assigned the Guest role at the team level and a limited Viewer role at the collection level.

When you prohibit this, Collection Editors don't have the option to choose whether external users can view a specific collection. External users already assigned the Guest role will continue to have access to collections previously shared with them. New external users can no longer be assigned the Guest role.
