Workspaces

Overview​

Workspaces are designed to allow the configuration of multiple use cases with a single deployment of M-Connect. Each workspace is connected to a vault and contains distinct global settings, including look and feel and security. Workspaces are flexible in that each workspace can point to the same vault or separate vaults.

Note

While it is up to you to decide how many workspaces are required to meet your business needs, note that all workspaces share processing power. Heavy workloads might require separating workspaces into multiple M-Connect deployments.
