Zone access

Zone access

Zone access lets you control who can see and work in each Zone within a Space. This is helpful when different parts of your Space are meant for different teams or external collaborators.

By default, all Zones in a Space are accessible to everyone in the Space. You can change this to allow access to specific Zones only.



You can manage Zone access:

  • For existing Spacemates or Teams

  • While adding new Spacemates

  • For externally shared Spaces


Manage Zone access for existing Spacemates

  1. Click the Share button at the top-right corner of the Space to open the Collaborators pane.

  2. Hover over a Spacemate or Team name.

  3. Click the down arrow next to their Space access permission.

  4. Select Manage Zone access.

  5. In the Manage Zone access dialog:

    • “All Zones” will be selected by default.

    • Choose Specific Zones and select the Zones you want them to access.

    • Click Apply.

Set Zone access while adding new Spacemates

  1. Click Share to open the Collaborators pane.

  2. Under Add Spacemates, select the individuals or Teams you want to add.

  4. In the Manage Zone access dialog:

    • Select Specific Zones to restrict access.

    • Choose the Zones to allow, and click Apply.



Manage Zone access for external sharing

  1. Click Share in the top-right corner.

  2. Under Who can access, click the arrow next to the current setting.

    • If it is set to Only Spacemates, switch to Anyone with the link.

  1. Click Manage in the Zone access section.

  2. Choose the specific Zones you want to include in the external view.


Info

People will only see the Zones you’ve allowed. They will not be aware of the Zones they do not have access to.
