# Introduction to Collabase

> What Collabase is and how it is organised: Spaces, apps such as Collabase Docs and Projects, members and roles. The starting point for new users.

Collabase is a collaboration platform that brings documentation, project work, test management, automation and internal communication together under one login. Everything you work on lives inside a **Space**.

## Spaces

A Space is a self-contained workspace with its own members, apps and content. A Space often stands for a department, a product area, a project or a team. Content and members in one Space do not affect any other Space.

## Apps in a Space

Each Space can switch these apps on or off:

| App                 | What it provides                                        |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Collabase Docs**  | A knowledge base with pages, templates and a page tree  |
| **Projects**        | Tasks, boards, sprints and project tracking             |
| **Test Management** | Test cases, test suites, test runs and quality tracking |
| **Automation**      | Workflows that start on an event and run actions        |
| **Intranet**        | Announcements and team news                             |
| **Registry**        | Structured objects with your own fields and types       |
| **Time Tracking**   | Time logged against tasks and projects, with reporting  |

A Space Admin decides which apps are active. A disabled app is hidden from the sidebar, and its data stays in place.

## Projects inside a Space

A Space can hold several projects. A project lives in the **Projects** app and has its own workflow, task types, members and settings. Project access is managed separately: being a member of a Space does not give you access to every project in it.

## Roles

Every member of a Space has one of four roles: **Space Admin**, **Manager**, **Member** or **Viewer**. What Managers, Members and Viewers may do is set by the Space's Permission Scheme. Space Admins always have full access to the Space.
