GridGap For Business Workspaces

Business workspaces are the shared side of GridGap. They exist for teams that need to keep projects in one place, share work across members, and separate workspace billing from personal subscriptions.

What a Business workspace is for

A Business workspace gives a team a shared place to work on projects, versions, and results. It is the right structure when one person owns the billing, several people need to view or edit projects, and the work needs to stay organised around a common company or workshop context.

The workspace is not just a shared folder. It comes with seat allocation, member roles, shared projects, workspace branding, and workspace-specific billing state.

Who should use it

Business workspaces are a good fit for installers, workshops, small businesses, project teams, and anyone who needs more than one person to work against the same project set. They also make sense when personal and business work need to stay separate instead of being mixed inside one account.

If you only need a private personal workflow, a workspace may be more structure than you need. If several people need to collaborate, review, or manage projects, the workspace model becomes much more useful.

How roles affect work

Workspace roles matter. Owner, admin, member, and viewer do not all have the same powers. Some people can edit projects. Some can manage members. Some can manage billing. Some are there mainly to review shared work.

This is important because a feature being unavailable is not always a subscription problem. It may simply be a role problem. For example, billing and some workspace management tasks remain owner-only.

Why billing and workspace context matter

A Business workspace has its own billing context. That means it is separate from a user's personal Pro subscription. The same person can belong to both, but the workspace still has its own seat count, billing state, and member access rules.

That separation is useful because it keeps business work and personal work from bleeding into each other. It also means you should always check whether you are looking at personal billing, workspace billing, or workspace access when something does not look right.

How to get the most from it

Use workspace projects for the shared client or company work. Keep personal projects private unless you intentionally import them into the workspace. Use the members page to understand who can do what. Use the billing page to confirm the workspace subscription state. Use support tickets from inside the workspace when the issue is tied to that shared context.

The workspace model works best when the team keeps one clear owner, clear roles, and a clean split between personal and shared work.

Good practice

If you are setting up work for a team, decide early which projects belong in the workspace and which ones should stay personal. That avoids confusion later.
