You can make data available to your Dust workspace via spaces that let you organize and control access to your data.

📘

Once Connections are set up, don't forget to create spaces and add data to your spaces.

Spaces

Spaces are containers for storing information relevant to specific groups or projects. They come in two types:

• Open spaces: accessible to all workspace members
• Restricted spaces: limited access to designated users

Open spaces

Open spaces are accessible to all members of your workspace. They're ideal for sharing common resources and fostering collaboration across teams.

Key Features

• Managed by: workspace administrators
• Accessible to: available to all workspace members
• Ideal for: organizing team/project data

Company Data

Every workspace includes a default space called "Company Data". This special space cannot be modified or restricted.

Restricted spaces

Workspace administrators manage which team members have access to a space. Assistants that access data from a specific space are only available to members of that space.

🔒

Key features:

• Managed by: workspace administrators
• Accessible to: only to selected members
• Ideal for: securing sensitive data and controlling who can access it

How to add data to a space

Create a space

Only workspace admins can create and manage spaces:

1. Go to "Knowledge" tab
2. Click "New"
3. Name the Space
4. Choose if it's Open or Restricted
5. If restricted, add Members
6. Click "Create"

Add data to a space

From a connection

Note: Only admins can add data from "Connections" to a space.

To add data from a connection (connected by an Admin),

1. Click on your Space and click on "Connected Data.".
2. Click "Add data from connections".
3. From the modal, select only the data that should be available to the space.
4. Click "Save."

From other sources

For folders, websites, and apps:

• in Open spaces: only admins and builders can add data
• in Restricted spaces: all members can add data

Using spaces in assistant tools

One space per assistant

When creating an assistant, selecting a tool that requires data access will necessitate choosing which space the data should come from.

❗️

Currently, one assistant can use data from a single space.

For example, if the assistant "signupRadar" is responsible for looking up recent sign-ups and uses a search tool querying signups from the Snowflake connection in the "Sales Ops" space, all other tools will be limited to this space.

Assistants visibility

The space used by an assistant determines who can see and use the assistant. Only members of the space used by the assistant's tools will be able to see and use it.

Limitations and Plan Details

The number of spaces you can create depends on your plan.

Pro plans are currently limited to one space. For more information or assistance with Dust Spaces, please contact our support team at [email protected].
