# Workspaces

## What is a Workspace?

A **Workspace** is a personal space for an actor, separate from any center. It serves as the actor's home base for managing their cross-center activities.

## Workspace vs Center

| Aspect     | Workspace                     | Center                  |
| ---------- | ----------------------------- | ----------------------- |
| Owner      | Individual actor              | Organization            |
| Data scope | Personal                      | Shared among members    |
| Detection  | `isPersonalWorkspaceDomain()` | Domain/subdomain lookup |
| Members    | Owner only                    | Multiple actors         |

## Actor-Workspace Data Isolation

### Instructors

Instructors have **complete isolation** between workspace and center data:

* Workspace: personal schedule, notes, portfolio
* Center: assigned students, center schedule, reports
* Must explicitly "enter" a center via `center.id`

### Parents

Parents can view data **across all centers** where their children are enrolled:

* Workspace: aggregated view of all children's activities
* Uses `basePrisma` for cross-center queries
* Scoped by authorized center IDs from membership

## Workspace Detection

```typescript theme={null}
import { isPersonalWorkspaceDomain } from '@/lib/auth';

if (isPersonalWorkspaceDomain(domain)) {
  // Workspace context — show personal dashboard
} else {
  // Center context — show center dashboard
}
```

<Info>
  Workspace detection is the **SSOT** for determining if an actor is in personal or center context. Never check `center.type` for this purpose.
