How to Create a New Workspace in Kong Manager

Log in as the Super Admin. On the Workspaces page, click the New Workspace button at the top right to see the Create Workspace form.

Name the new Workspace.

⚠️ WARNING: Each Workspace name should be unique, regardless of letter case. For example, naming one Workspace “Payments” and another one “payments” will create two different workspaces that look identical.

⚠️ WARNING: Do not name Workspaces the same as these major routes in Kong Manager:

 • Admins
 • APIs
 • Certificates
 • Consumers
 • Plugins
 • Portal
 • Routes
 • Services
 • SNIs
 • Upstreams
 • Vitals

Select a color or avatar to make each Workspace easier to distinguish, or accept the default color.

Click the “Create New Workspace” button. Upon creation, the application will navigate to the new Workspace’s “Dashboard” page.

On the left sidebar, click the “Admins” link in the “Security” section. If the sidebar is collapsed, hover over the security badge icon at the bottom and click the “Admins” link.

The “Admins” page displays a list of current Admins and Roles. Four default Roles specific to the new Workspace are already visible, and new Roles specific to the Workspace can be assigned from this page.
