Manage and assign spaces

A space is an isolated area where a team collaborates to create templates and deploy applications. Administrators create a space and assign it to a development team, where they can view templates and deployments that other space members create.

The templates and applications that users create in a space are only available in that space. An administrator can share templates with other spaces by adding templates to a catalog and sharing that catalog across spaces.

Before you begin

Before you can create and manage spaces, do the following:

• Make sure that you have the Application Design Center Admin ( roles/designcenter.admin ) IAM role on the app-enabled folder or management project.

• Complete the App Design Center setup .

Create spaces

Spaces are isolation boundaries for each team or purpose. For example, you might create one space for a web development team, and another space for a data pipelines team.

You created an initial space in your app-enabled folder when you set up App Design Center. For each additional spaces that you want to create, add a descendant app-enabled folder inside your initial app-enabled folder. You can then share templates from the initial space to descendant spaces.

To create a space, do the following:

1. In the app-enabled folder where you created your initial space, create a descendant app-enabled folder. For more information, see Managing applications in a folder .

2. In the Google Cloud console, select the descendant app-enabled folder.

3. Go to the App Design Center Overviewpage.

   Go to Overview

4. Complete the App Design Center setup .

Manage space users

Space users can collaborate to create templates and deploy application instances. You add each user or group as a principal, and then assign roles to that principal to help them perform their duties. For example, you might assign the App Design Center Admin ( roles/designcenter.admin ) role to a principal who needs to create and assign spaces, manage catalogs, and design templates.

To manage space user permissions:

1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the App Design Center Overviewpage.

   Go to Overview

2. From the navigation menu, select a space from the Spacelist.

3. In the Let your team use ADCarea, click Manage permissions.

4. Click Add principal, and do the following:

   1. In the New principalsfield, enter the principals that you want to add to the space.

   2. From the Select a rolelist, click Other.

   3. From the Rolesarea, select the role that you want to assign to the selected principals.

      For role descriptions, see Access control with IAM .

   4. For each additional role that you want to assign to this principal, click Add another roleand select a role.

   5. Click Save.

5. To assign access for additional users in this space, click Add principaland assign the relevant roles.
