Manage projects in Label Studio Enterprise

Organize projects into workspaces to make order in labeling data with Label Studio Enterprise.

You can manage data and projects in the Label Studio UI using the following:

• Use the organization page.
• Create workspaces to organize projects.
  • Add or remove members to a workspace.
  • Sandbox workspace.
  • More menu to Pin/Unpin and Duplicate projects.
  • Delete a workspace.

Use the organization page

To manage organization membership, use the Organization page in the Label Studio UI. When you sign up for Label Studio Enterprise for the first time, an organization associated with your account is automatically created. You become the owner of that organization. People who join Label Studio Enterprise from an invitation link or with an LDAP or SSO role join an existing organization.

If permitted by your Label Studio Enterprise plan, you can create organizations in Label Studio to further separate access to data and projects. For example, you could create separate organizations to separate work and access between completely unrelated departments. If some departments might collaborate with each other on a project, you can use one organization for both and instead use workspaces to organize the projects that they might or might not be collaborating on.

For example, you might set up one of the following possible configurations:

• One organization for your company, with one workspace for the support department and another for the development team, with specific projects in each workspace for different types of customer requests.

  
  Figure 3: Label Studio with one organization with multiple workspaces and projects within each workspace.

• Multiple organizations, such as one for the customer claims department and another for the customer support department, with specific workspaces in each organization for specific types of insurance, such as home insurance claims and auto insurance claims, and specific projects in each workspace for types of claims, such as Accident Claims, Injury Claims, Natural Disaster Claims. The Customer support organization might have workspaces specific to the types of support queues, with projects for specific types of calls received.

  
  Figure 4: Label Studio with three organizations, each one with multiple workspaces and projects within each workspace.

When you assign a user role to an organization member, they hold that role for all workspaces and projects for that organization.

Managers within an organization can see all workspaces in that organization, even if they don’t have access to perform actions in them. Annotators and reviewers can only see projects, not workspaces.

If you have access to multiple organizations, use the Organizations page to switch between the organizations that you are a member of.

Create workspaces to organize projects

Within an organization, owners, administrators, and managers can create and manage workspaces. Workspace managers can only manage workspaces that they create or have been added to.

Create a workspace to organize projects by doing the following:

1. In the Label Studio UI, click the + sign next to Workspaces in the menu.

   
   
   
   Figure 5: Click the + sign.

2. Name the workspace, and if you want, select a color.

3. Click Save.

   
   
   
   Figure 6: Name the workspace.

After creating a workspace, you can create projects for that workspace, or use the Project Settings page to move a project to the new workspace. Your private sandbox also functions as a workspace, but only you can see projects in your sandbox.

Add or remove members to a workspace

From a specific workspace inside the Label Studio UI, do the following:

1. Click Manage Members.
2. Use the search functionality to locate the user that you want to add to the workspace.
3. Select the checkbox next to their name and click the > arrow so that they appear in the list of users that Belong to the Workspace.
4. Click Save.

Figure 7: Manage members.

You can also remove yourself or other members from a workspace by following the same process and removing members with the < arrow.

Sandbox workspace

Each user has a personal Sandbox workspace that they can use to experiment with project settings and get familiar with Label Studio. After you set up a project and want others to collaborate on it with you, you can update the project workspace in the Project Settings. You cannot add members to your Sandbox workspace.

More menu to Pin or Unpin and Duplicate projects

Use the more menu (three dots (…) located in the bottom-right of each project card) to explore the following features:

Pin or Unpin projects

You can pin a project to the top of the page and unpin a project too. The Pin project and Unpin project feature allows you to filter and find projects of interest.

To delete a workspace, do the following:

1. In the Label Studio UI, open the workspace.
2. Click the gear icon next to the workspace name.
3. In the dialog box that appears, click Delete Workspace. If the button is not available to select, the workspace still contains projects.
