Namespaces are used to separate resources (such as channels, credentials, sources, validators, and so on) into isolated managed groups which you can then assign to relevant teams. Teams can only access the resources that are in their assigned namespaces.

For more information, see About Validio RBAC.

Create a New Namespace

To add a new namespace,

1. Navigate to Workspace > Namespaces.
2. Click + New Namespace.
3. Enter a Name for your namespace.
4. (Optional) Upload an avatar.
5. From the list,
   1. Select the relevant members, teams, and API keys to assign to the namespace. You will see a summary of your selection below the table.
   2. Select the relevant role (View, Admin, Editor) to assign to each member, team, and API Key you add to the namespace.
6. Click Create Namespace to finish.

Delete a Namespace

To delete a Namespace,

1. Navigate to Workspace > Namespaces.
2. Click the ⋮ menu at the end of the row for the relevant namespace.
3. Select Delete.

If the selected namespace is connected to credentials or channels, you will not be able to delete the namespace until you delete each connected resource. You will see an error message listing the connected resources to delete.

Add API Keys to a Namespace

When you create an API key using the UI, you will need to manually add the API key to each namespace that it needs to access.

To add API keys to a namespace in the UI,

1. Navigate to Workspace > Namespaces.
2. Select the Namespace you want to add the API key to (create a new namespace).
3. Under Add members, teams, or API keys, scroll down to API Keys.
4. Check the API Keys you want to add to the Namespace and select which role (Viewer, Editor, Admin) it should have.
5. Click Update (or Create namespace).
