Workspaces and Teams

What this page covers

Workspaces and teams from the regular user’s perspective: space boundaries, roles, and how to find team content. Admin operations such as creating teams, archiving, and policy group binding are in Users and Teams.

Personal Space vs Team Space

The most important boundary in AsterDrive is the workspace.

Item	Personal space	Team space
File ownership	Current user	Current team
Shares	Only shares created in the personal space	Only shares created in the team space
Recycle bin	The personal space’s own bin	Each team’s own bin
Task center	Personal tasks	Team tasks
Search	Searches the current personal space	Searches the current team space
WebDAV	Personal accounts open only personal files	Team accounts open only that team’s files
Storage route	Policy group bound to the user	Policy group bound to the team

After you switch workspaces on the left, files, shares, tasks, recycle bin, and search results all switch with it. This is also the first step when troubleshooting “why can’t I see a file / share / task”: confirm which workspace you are currently in.

Understanding Team Roles

Teams are usually understood in three roles:

Role	Who it fits	What they can do
Owner	Team lead	Manage the team, members, and team files
Admin	Day-to-day maintainer	Manage members and daily team content
Member	Regular collaborator	Use files, shares, and tasks in the team space

Check two layers for permission issues

Whether a user can operate team content depends first on team membership, then on their role in the team. Do not just check whether they are a system administrator.

What Settings -> Teams Offers

Settings -> Teams lists the teams you have joined. You can:

• View team name, description, member count, and space usage
• Open a team workspace directly
• View archived teams

If you are an owner or admin of a team, you can also enter the team management page to handle members and team info, and view team audit; with the corresponding permission, you can restore archived teams.

Day-to-Day Boundaries in Team Spaces

• A team space is not a separate site; it is served by the same AsterDrive service
• Team spaces have their own WebDAV accounts; the WebDAV address is global, and the account credentials decide whether a client enters the personal space or a team space
• Team quota and personal user quota are separate concepts
• Shares, recycle bin, tasks, and tag libraries in a team are all separate from the personal space
• When you cannot find “the share from earlier” or “the task from earlier” in a team, first confirm the current workspace is correct

Common Triage Order

1. Is the user a team member?
2. Is the user’s role in the team sufficient?
3. Is the current workspace the target team?
4. Is the team archived?
5. Do the relevant shares, tasks, or recycle bin items belong to the same team space?

The full admin triage path (policy groups, audit, tasks) is in Users and Teams.
