Multi-Workspace Mode

In Multi-Workspace Mode, User can create multiple Workspaces. With some other settings, Admin can control the behavior of Users on Multi-Workspace mode.

Setting Up Multi-Workspace mode

  1. Set LOWCODER_WORKSPACE_MODE to "SAAS" in docker-compose-multi.yml file.

Workspace Mode Env variable can also have the value "MULTIWORKSPACE" instead of "SAAS"

You can see in the following screenshot that in "Multi-Workspace" mode, each User can create multiple Workspaces.

  1. In the above screenshot, you can see three configuration variables regarding Email and Workspace creation on Sign up.

    1. LOWCODER_EMAIL_SIGNUP_ENABLED This variable is the configuration for showing "Sign Up" button on Lowcoder. When it is set to "TRUE", "Sign Up" button will show up and new User can sign up in Multi-Workspace mode. A new Workspace will be created for this User, and he/she will be the Admin of this Workspace : LOWCODE_EMAIL_SIGNUP_ENABLED = true

      LOWCODE_EMAIL_SIGNUP_ENABLED = false

    2. LOWCODER_CREATE_WORKSPACE_ON_SIGNUP This variable is the configuration for creating a Workspace when new User signs up. LOWCODER_CREATE_WORKSPACE_ON_SIGNUP = true

      LOWCODER_CREATE_WORKSPACE_ON_SIGNUP = false

Scenarios

  1. LOWCODER_WORKSPACE_MODE = SAAS

  2. LOWCODER_EMAIL_SIGNUP_ENABLED = true

  3. LOWCODER_CREATE_WORKSPACE_ON_SIGNUP = true

Let's explain the above scenarios with different settings of the Environment Variables. LOWCODER_EMAIL_SIGNUP_ENABLED

This Env variable controls the Sign up feature whether New Users can Sign Pp or not. If set to False, Sign up button is not shown up and if a new User tries to enter an email and go forward, User is not shown the Sign up page.

LOWCODER_CREATE_WORKSPACE_ON_SIGNUP

This Env variable controls the creation of a Workspace when a new User signs up. If set to False, a new User will get added to the Default Workspace.

Disable Email Auth

This feature controls the Sign up/Login using standard Email field. When set to disabled, Email field won't show up on Sign Up and Login pages, and User won't be able to Sign up or Login using Email field. Scenario: When LOWCODER_EMAIL_SIGNUP_ENABLED = False

This means that New User can't Sign up on a Workspace. So, LOWCODER_CREATE_WORKSPACE_ON_SIGNUP Env variable won't matter.

Now, if Email Auth is "disabled", then User can only sign in using other Auth Providers, but still New User should NOT be able to Sign up.

Administrative Access

Here, if Admin disables the "Email Auth" ( means that Members can't Sign up/Login using Standard Email field ), Lowcoder allows Admin to still be able to login using /admin/auth/login. But, for other Users, Email field won't be available at /user/auth/login. They would only be able to see other Auth Providers options set by Admin. View on /user/auth/login

View on /admin/login

Scenario: When LOWCODER_EMAIL_SIGNUP_ENABLED = True If LOWCODER_CREATE_WORKSPACE_ON_SIGNUP is set to "True", then for every new Sign Up, a New Workspace will be created for the User.
