Managing Users and Workspaces in Enterprise

With the Enterprise Plan, you gain access to powerful collaboration features — including a dedicated Admin Console to manage users and shared workspaces (previously referred to as “teams”). This structure ensures visibility, clean access control, and scalable monitoring for organizations of any size.

This guide walks you through:

  • Adding and managing users
  • Creating and managing workspaces
  • Assigning user roles and workspace access

Accessing the Admin Console

To begin managing users and workspaces:

  1. Navigate to your Watchlist dashboard
  2. Click the gear icon in the lower-left corner
  3. Select “Admin Console” from the menu

Only Admin-level users can access this section.

Admins can assign fine-grained control over who can edit monitors and manage the workspace.
