Picture this: Your data engineering team is drowning in notifications about marketing's A/B test results, while your marketing team can't find their own data quality checks buried under thousands of finance department assets. Sound familiar?
If you've ever tried to scale data quality across multiple teams, you know the pain. Until now, GX Cloud operated with a simple but limiting approach: users could access everything in an organization, or nothing at all.
Today, we're changing that with GX Cloud Workspaces, and it's going to change how your teams collaborate around data quality.
When "all access" becomes "no focus"
Large organizations face a familiar dilemma: take a major advertising network managing dozens of data sources across performance marketing, creative operations, and customer reporting teams. Each team needs to maintain data quality for their own pipelines, but they don't need (or want) to wade through every other team's assets.
The old organization-level permissions created three major headaches:
Security risks multiplied: Users had access to sensitive data they didn't need
Focus disappeared: Teams couldn't find their own assets in the noise
Collaboration stalled: No clear ownership meant accountability gaps
Introducing Workspaces
Think of Workspaces as dedicated sub-accounts within your GX Cloud organization. Each Workspace becomes a focused environment where related users and assets naturally belong together.
Here's what changes:
Crystal-clear boundaries
Teams only see the Sources, Assets, and Expectations that matter to their work. No more scrolling through hundreds of irrelevant data quality checks to find the three that actually impact your pipeline.Security
Access is automatically scoped to a smaller, relevant set of entities. Your finance team's sensitive revenue data stays within their Workspace, always.True ownership
Each team can build and manage its own data quality processes without stepping on anyone else's work. Innovation happens faster when teams have clear ownership.Roles that match how you work
We didn't just add Workspaces, we redesigned permissions to reflect how real teams operate:Organization Owner manages the big picture across all Workspaces
Workspace admin handles day-to-day management for their team
Workspace Editor builds and maintains data quality assets
Workspace Viewer gets read-only insight into the team's work
The real power? Cross-team flexibility! You might be an Admin for your own department while maintaining Viewer access to related teams. Finally, permissions that match your actual responsibilities.
Why does this change everything?
Faster onboarding
New teams can get up and running in their own Workspace without navigating your entire organization's complexity.
Clearer accountability
When each team owns its Workspace, data quality responsibilities become crystal clear.
Effortless scaling
Whether you're adding your fifth team or your fiftieth, Workspaces grow with your organization's needs.
Ready to organize your data quality operations?
Workspaces represent more than just a new feature; they're a fundamental shift toward data quality management that scales with real organizations.
Your teams deserve focused environments where they can do their best work. Your organization deserves security boundaries that actually make sense. And your data quality initiatives deserve the structure to succeed at enterprise scale.
