Internal 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 internal workspaces, enabling you to align your internal workspaces with your organizational goals. You can manage which team members can create internal workspaces. You can also manage mock server privacy settings and whether Collection Editors can share collections with guest users in internal workspaces.
An internal workspace is a type of workspace that enables you to share projects with collaborators and manage access to them within your team. Learn more about creating workspaces.
As a Super Admin or Team Admin, you can limit or prohibit creation of new internal workspaces by users on your team.
Fellow Super Admins and Team Admins can always create workspaces. For other team members, you can specify which users and groups have permission to create workspaces.
If you specify users and groups, all other team members will require approval to create workspaces. A Super Admin, Team Admin, or user with permission to create workspaces can approve a request. The workspace's visibility will be set to Internal and Only you and invited people until the request is approved.
If you give all team members permission to create internal workspaces, team members won't need approval to create them.
Partners and Guests can't create internal workspaces.
To specify users or groups who can create internal workspaces, do the following:
Select Team > Team Settings in the Postman header.
Select Team resources in the sidebar, then select Workspaces.
Select Specific people or groups.
Specify users or groups who can create workspaces.
Select Save Changes.
To remove permission to create internal workspaces from users or groups, do the following:
Select Team > Team Settings in the Postman header.
Select Team resources in the sidebar, then select Workspaces.
Select the Specific people or groups section to edit it.
Select next to a user or group.
Select Save Changes.
To give all team members permission to create internal workspaces, do the following:
Select Team > Team Settings in the Postman header.
Select Team resources in the sidebar, then select Workspaces.
Select All team members.
Select Save Changes.
To see all workspaces, on the Home page, select Workspaces. You can also select Workspaces > View all workspaces in the Postman header. A list of workspaces appears.
To approve a request to create a workspace, select the Pending requests tab. This is where you can approve requests to change the visibility of a workspace, for example, when a user wants to make an existing workspace public.
Requests to create a public workspace or a Partner Workspace are approved by Partner Managers and Community Managers, respectively. If no Partner Manager role is assigned, the Team Admin is auto-assigned the Partner Manager role when they create their first Partner Workspace.
Community Managers can also approve requests to change a workspace's visibility to public from its workspace settings. Learn more about converting a workspace to a public workspace.
As a Super Admin or Team Admin, you can allow or prohibit Collection Editors from sharing collections with Guests in internal workspaces. Learn more about sharing collections with Guests.
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 Guests, select the toggle next to Allow Editors to share collections with Guests. By default, Collection Editors are allowed to share collections with Guests.
When you allow this, Collection Editors can choose whether Guests can view a specific collection and send requests in that collection. Guest 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 Guests can view a specific collection. Guest users already assigned the Guest role will continue to have access to collections previously shared with them. New Guests can no longer be assigned the Guest role.
As a Super Admin or Team Admin, you can enable or prohibit users from creating public mock servers.
To prohibit users from creating public mock servers, do the following:
By default, users are able to create both public and private mock servers. However, new mock servers are set to private by default. Learn more about private and public mock servers.
