Workspaces let Team plan customers organize AWS connections, scans, and reports into separate environments — for example, production vs. staging, or different business units.
What is a workspace?
A workspace is a container within your Parsivex account:
| Belongs to a workspace | Shared across the account |
|---|---|
| AWS connections (IAM roles) | Billing and plan tier |
| Scans and reports | Seat count and scan limits |
| Alert settings (email, Slack, anomaly toggle) | Team members |
| Monitoring schedule |
Each workspace has its own External ID, AWS connections, scan history, and alert configuration. Team members on the account can switch between workspaces to work in the right context.
Your account is the billing entity (one subscription, one set of plan limits). Workspaces are how you separate AWS environments inside that account. See Inviting team members for how teammates access all workspaces.
Workspace switcher
When your account has more than one workspace (or you are on a plan that supports multiple workspaces), a workspace switcher appears in the app sidebar header.
Open the switcher
Click the workspace name button (with the ▾ icon) in the top navigation area of the app sidebar.
Select a workspace
The dropdown lists every workspace you can access. Each row shows the workspace name and the account name. Click a workspace to switch — Parsivex reloads your session scoped to that workspace.
Create a new workspace (Team plan)
On the Team plan, choose + New workspace at the bottom of the dropdown. Enter a name (for example
StagingorProduction) and click Create workspace. Parsivex creates the workspace and switches you into it immediately.
After switching, the dashboard, scan history, reports, and Integrations AWS connections all reflect the active workspace.
Workspace limits
| Plan | Workspaces |
|---|---|
| Free | 1 |
| Monthly Monitoring | 1 |
| Team Plan | 3 |
Multiple workspaces require the Team plan. When you reach the limit of 3 workspaces, the switcher shows a usage meter instead of the create option.
Contact hello@parsivex.com to discuss higher limits for larger organizations.
Common workspace patterns
| Pattern | Example setup |
|---|---|
| By environment | Production, Staging, Sandbox workspaces with separate AWS accounts in each |
| By team or product | Platform, Data, Mobile — each team owns one workspace |
| By AWS organization unit | One workspace per business unit with multiple AWS accounts connected inside it |
You can connect up to 5 AWS accounts per workspace on the Team plan. See Connecting multiple AWS accounts.
What changes when you switch
| Updates immediately | Stays the same |
|---|---|
| Dashboard and latest scan data | Your user profile and login |
| Scan history and reports | Account billing and plan |
| AWS connections in Integrations | Team member list |
| Alert configuration for that workspace | Other workspaces' data (isolated) |
Troubleshooting
| Problem | What to try |
|---|---|
| No workspace switcher visible | You may have only one workspace and a single-workspace plan — upgrade to the Team plan for multiple workspaces |
| "Upgrade for more workspaces" | Multiple workspaces require the Team plan |
| At workspace limit | Team plans support 3 workspaces — contact support to add more |
| Missing data after switching | Scans and connections are workspace-scoped — switch back to the original workspace |
