Manage Workspaces and Projects

Workspaces

Workspaces divide your account into separate sub-accounts, each with its own distinct set of assets and access controls.

Each workspace includes its own tests, reports, projects, shared folders, APM credentials, private locations, and dedicated IPs.

Members can navigate between workspaces but will only see the contents of one workspace at a time, similar to using a badge to enter a room.

A member can be assigned different roles (Manager, Tester, or Viewer) in each workspace they have access to.

Should You Use Multiple Workspaces or Just One?

  • Use multiple workspaces if you want clear boundaries between different asset sets and the ability to assign members different roles across asset sets (for example, Tester in their workspace and Viewer in others).

  • Use a single workspace if you want to share all assets across all users.

Usage is tracked at both the workspace and project levels, so either organizational method supports usage tracking goals.

Projects

Projects are designed to organize tests and reports and track usage within a workspace.

Each test and all of its reports belong to a project.

If a workspace is like a room you enter with a badge, a project is like a rack or whiteboard in that room.

  • The "All Tests" and "All Reports" lists show tests from all projects within the current workspace.

  • Selecting a project from the Project drop-down displays a list of tests within that project.

  • Tests can be moved from one Project to another by choosing "Move this test to..." on its Test Configuration screen.

Add Members to a Workspace

Only workspace managers can add members to a workspace.

New members can only be added from within the account that the workspace belongs to; members from outside the account cannot be added. For instructions on adding new users to your account, refer to How to Invite Additional Users to a BlazeMeter Account.

To add members:

  1. Log in to your BlazeMeter account.

  2. Click the Cog icon in the top-right corner to open Settings.

  3. Navigate to Settings > Workspace > Members and select the users to add to the workspace.

  4. Click the '+' button:

  5. Select the user you wish to add and click the Add button to confirm.

Assign Workspace Roles

Workspace owners can assign the following roles to members of their workspaces:

    • Viewer - Can only view reports.
    • Tester - Can create, edit, delete, and run tests and reports; manage projects, APM credentials, APM profiles, tags, correlation rule templates; view dedicated IPs, and usage reports; , and create, edit, and delete private locations.

    • Manager - Same as a tester but can also add and remove members from a workspace, create and delete alerts.

To assign roles, go to Settings > Workspace > Users, and edit the user you want:

Choose the role you want from the dropdown menu:

As a workspace owner, you can also disable or enable a member's access to a workspace, this is BlazeMeter's equivalent of deleting a user. Once you disable a user, they are removed from the workspace members list. Use the 'Show Disabled' ON/OFF button to view disabled members.

Add a New Project

Both workspace managers and testers can add a new project.
  1. Verify that you're in the desired workspace where you'd like to add the project. To switch workspaces, use the dropdown menu in the top-right corner of the screen.

  2. Click the Projects dropdown button, then select Create New Project.

  3. Enter a name for your project and click Create Project.

Create a Test in a Project

Both workspace managers and testers can create a test in a project.

To create a new test in an existing project, either click Create Test, or select the relevant project from the Projects dropdown menu in the top-left corner of the screen.

Project Tests

In this example, the project selected is Guy's Awesome Project, located within the Second Workspace. This means the new test will be added to Guy's Awesome Project, and members of the Second Workspace with the necessary permissions can view, edit, share, or delete the test.
