Workspaces
A workspace is an environment that allows you to manage your Bitrise projects and the team members working on the projects. To use any of the Bitrise product solutions, you need a workspace. Everything you see on the Bitrise Dashboard belongs to a selected workspace.
Workspaces have owners, managers, and members. They can be sorted into groups: groups allow owners to quickly assign large teams to specific projects.
Projects
A Bitrise project is the container for the entire Mobile DevOps process of your development work. Each workspace can own multiple projects. A project allows you to:
-
Create a CI configuration: a project's CI configuration is tied to a Git repository.
-
Set up Release Management to distribute your mobile app to testers and to online stores.
Projects have their own project teams with granular access rights. Workspace groups and individual contributors can both be added to project teams.
Accounts
A user account belongs to an individual user. User accounts can't own projects: each user account must be part of a workspace to be able to work on the Bitrise platform.
User accounts don't have subscription plans or Release Management licenses: these are tied to workspaces, and connected apps, respectively.
You can invite individual users to both project teams and workspaces.
