Single Workspace Mode

In Single Workspace Mode, there is only One Workspace that gets created automatically and Users can only join in that Workspace as a Member/Admin, but can't create their own Workspaces. With some other settings, Super Admin can control the behavior of Users on Single Workspace mode.

Setting Up Single Workspace mode

1. In Local Setup, we have a Root Admin User, that we can configure in docker-compose-multi.yml file. This user will be created by default and it will Super Admin of the default Workspace.

   
2. Set LOWCODER_WORKSPACE_MODE to "ENTERPRISE" in docker-compose-multi.yml file.

   

Workspace Mode Env variable can also have the value "SINGLEWORKSPACE" instead of "ENTERPRISE" .

In the above screenshot, you can see three configuration variables regarding Email and Workspace creation on Sign up. Let's go through these one by one:

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 Single Workspace mode. But, as this is Single Workspace mode, the new User will only become a Member of the default Workspace. LOWCODER_EMAIL_SIGNUP_ENABLED = true LOWCODER_EMAIL_SIGNUP_ENABLED = false
2. LOWCODER_CREATE_WORKSPACE_ON_SIGNUP This variable is the configuration for creating a Workspace when new User signs up, but as there is only One Workspace that gets created by default in Single Workspace mode, so this variable value doesn't matter in Single Workspace mode. Setting it to TRUE or FALSE won't create a new Workspace on Sign Up.

Scenarios

1. LOWCODER_WORKSPACE_MODE = ENTERPRISE

2. LOWCODER_EMAIL_SIGNUP_ENABLED = true

Scenario	Subscenario	Expected Result
Can Workspace Admin login Normally
	If They are Admin of Single Workspace	Should be able to Login
	If They are Admin of multiple Workspaces	Not Applicable as Single Workspace mode allows only ONE Workspace
	If they are Admin on Workspace A, but Member on Workspace B	Not Applicable as Single Workspace mode allows only ONE Workspace
Can Workspace Members login Normally
	If they are Member at a single Workspace	Should be able to Login
	If they are Member at multiple Workspaces	Not Applicable as Single Workspace mode allows only ONE Workspace
	If they are Member at Workspace A, but Admin on Workspace B	Not Applicable as Single Workspace mode allows only ONE Workspace
New User Sign up
	Can New User sign up as an Admin	Not Applicable as in Single Workspace mode, new User can only sign up as a member of default Workspace
	Can New User sign up as a Member	Any User should be able to sign up as a Member of default Workspace
	Can Super Admin make a Member the Admin of Default Workspace	Super Admin should be able to update the Role of Member to Admin
	Can Admin create a New Workspace	Admin should NOT be able to create a New Workspace
	Can Super Admin create a New Workspace	Super Admin should NOT be able to create a New Workspace
	Can Super Admin or Admin update the Role of a Member to Developer	Super Admin or Admin should be able to update the Role of a Member to Developer
	Can Developer create a New Workspace	Developer should NOT be able to create a New Workspace

....	True	NA	Disabled
....	False	NA	Enabled
Can Admin Login	False	NA	Disabled

Administrative Access

Scenario #1 : Admin -> When LOWCODER_EMAIL_SIGNUP_ENABLED = True or False Any User can't sign up as Admin in Single Workspace Mode, regardless of any settings for Env Variables. Admin can only Login.

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 #2 : Member -> When LOWCODER_EMAIL_SIGNUP_ENABLED = True This means that New User can sign up as Member. When Email Auth is Disabled, then User can only Sign up/Login using other Auth Providers.

Scenario #3 : Member -> When LOWCODER_EMAIL_SIGNUP_ENABLED = False With this configuration, only existing Members would be able to Login to Lowcoder. No new Member can Sign up.
