# Workspaces

A Workspace is an environment for developing data pipelines. By default, Workspaces are private but can be made public by the owner. Public Workspaces enable users to discover the Workspace, view pipelines, code, and data without modifying them.

#### Roles

Workspace owners can invite registered users of the platform to collaborate on the workspace by assigning them the appropriate roles. (See [User Roles](/platform/user-roles.md) for more details)

#### Secrets

Workspaces host secret stores where API tokens and sensitive data can be managed and stored. (See [Secrets Store](/platform/secrets-store.md) for more details)

#### Visibility

In the settings menu, you can adjust the visibility of the Workspace. Private workspaces only allow access to users listed in the Roles section. Public Workspaces allow every registered user on the platform to discover and essentially grant them a viewer role.

#### Deleting a Workspace

A Workspace can be deleted via the settings menu.

Be careful when deleting Workspaces since this action can not be reverted without reverting platform backups!
