Workspace admin is where organization admins govern Lightdash: who belongs to the organization, what each person can do, how they sign in, and how projects and credentials are managed centrally. Access control runs on roles, groups, and user attributes. SSO and SCIM connect sign-in and user provisioning to your identity provider. Service accounts and organization credentials let teams automate and connect warehouses without sharing secrets, while organization and project settings cover the rest of day-to-day administration.
