About workspaces

A workspace is your main hub for app development and team collaboration in Base44. Every Base44 account includes up to 3 workspaces:

• Personal workspace: This is your default workspace, created automatically when you join Base44. Only you have access to your own workspace and the apps inside it.
• Shared workspaces: Create up to 2 additional workspaces and invite teammates to collaborate. Each member’s ability to view or manage apps depends on the role you assign them in the workspace.

You can switch between your personal and shared workspaces at any time. Click your profile icon at the top right of your account, then select a workspace under Workspaces.

Personal workspace

Your personal workspace is for your own projects. It is automatically created when you make an account with Base44. Only you can access the apps in this space. You cannot invite people to join your workspace to build apps and you cannot purchase seats in your personal workspace. If you want to collaborate and give others access, create a shared workspace and invite team members. Your personal workspace is always called My Workspace.

Shared workspaces

Create shared workspaces and invite others to create, edit, and manage apps together in one place. You control who can join your workspace, and you decide what each person can see or do. Shared workspaces are ideal for working with teams, clients, or external partners. Any shared workspaces you have access to appear under your personal workspace in your account. If you created a shared workspace, you will see a Manage button when you hover over its name. If you are invited to a shared workspace, you will only see the Manage button if you are an Admin on that workspace. To let others build or manage apps in a shared workspace, you need to:

1. Create a new workspace and invite them to your workspace.
2. Assign the right role (Owner, Admin, or Member) to give them the right permissions.
3. Assign a seat (plan) to give them credits to build apps.

Follow the instructions below to learn how.

Inviting members to a workspace

Bring people into your workspace to collaborate, assign roles, and work together on building your apps. You can invite members individually or in bulk, just send an invitation link and help your team get started. Once invited, you can manage each member’s access and permissions to make sure everyone has the right level of control. Invite members to your workspace:

Purchasing seats for your members

A seat is a paid plan for an individual member in a shared workspace. If you want a teammate to create, edit, or manage apps alongside you, you must assign a seat to their account. Each seat allows a member to build apps and use monthly credits. Members without a seat can only view the workspace and its apps. They cannot make changes, to any apps. To purchase a seat:

1. Click your profile icon at the top-right of your account.
2. Hover over the relevant workspace and click Manage.
3. Click Buy Your First Seats.
4. Select the plan and quantity and click Purchase Seats.

Managing your workspace members

When you invite teammates, you decide their role and assign a seat if they need to build or edit apps. As the workspace owner, you can update roles, change seat assignments, or remove members at any time, ensuring everyone has the right level of access for your workspace apps. For a team member to actually build or manage apps, you must assign both a role and a seat. If they only have a role, they’ll have view-only access on the workspace apps. The roles and seat types are explained below: To update a member’s role or seat:

1. Click your profile icon at the top-right of your account.
2. Hover over the relevant workspace and click Manage.
3. Scroll down to the Members section and find the member you want to update.
4. Update their role or seat:
   • Change their role: Click the member’s current role and select Owner, Admin, or Member.
     To remove a member, select Remove Member, then click again to confirm.
   • Change their seat: Click their seat permission and select an available seat from your plan. If there are none available, you need to purchase more seats.

Understanding seats and credits

When you purchase a seat and assign a member to it, that member has their own monthly credit limit based on the seat type (e.g., Starter, Builder). Credits are not combined across the workspace. For example, if you have a Builder seat with 250 credits, and your teammate has a Starter seat with 100 credits, your credits and their credits are completely separate. You can’t “share” or transfer credits. If you use your 250 credits, you’ll need to upgrade your seat for more, or assign yourself to a different seat in your workspace.

Moving an app to a shared workspace

You can move an app from your personal workspace into a shared workspace to collaborate with your team. Once moved, the app is managed under the shared workspace’s permissions, but you’ll still remain the app owner. To move your app:

1. Open your app in your personal workspace.
2. Go to your app’s dashboard and click Overview.
3. Click Move App next to Move to Workspace.
4. Select the workspace to move your app to.
