Audience

  • Admin

Product Area

Workspace Model

Prerequisites

  • Organization created

Expected Result

The Workspace Model workflow completes without unresolved validation errors, and the result is visible to the intended roles.

Security and Audit Notes

  • Use the least-privileged role that can complete the task.
  • Confirm the resulting change or decision appears in the workspace audit trail when the workflow changes customer data or access.

Limits and Preconditions

  • Available controls depend on the tenant plan, enabled modules, jurisdiction, and administrator policy.
  • If a named control is not visible, confirm entitlement and role access before treating the behavior as a product failure.

Troubleshooting

  • Flat hierarchy causes routing conflicts: Model parent-child branch relationships explicitly.

If the documented result cannot be reached after the checks above, capture the workspace identifier, affected product area, timestamp, and a redacted error message, then use Support. Never include secrets, privileged legal content, or customer documents in the initial report.
