LangChain: LangSmith Introduces Workspaces for Enhanced Team Collaboration and Organization

LangSmith
has
unveiled
a
new
feature
aimed
at
improving
collaboration
and
organization
within
enterprises.
The
introduction
of
workspaces
in
LangSmith
allows
companies
to
separate
resources
among
different
teams,
business
units,
or
deployment
environments,
as
reported
by
the

LangChain
Blog.

Using
Workspaces
to
Effectively
Manage
Resources

With
this
new
feature,
LangSmith
activities
and
workflows
will
now
occur
within
a
specific

workspace.
These
workspaces
provide
a
logical
grouping
of
users
and
resources,
enhancing
both
productivity
and
security.
Each
workspace
can
have
its
own
settings,
distinct
from
the
overall
organization,
and
can
support
organization-scoped
roles
and
actions.

For
instance,
when
users
first
log
in
to
LangSmith,
a
Personal
organization
is
created
by
default,
limited
to
a
single
workspace.
However,
shared
organizations
can
create
multiple
workspaces,
assigning
them
to
different
teams,
business
units,
or
deployment
environments.
This
allows
for
more
streamlined
efficiency,
as
resources
such
as
trace
projects,
datasets,
annotation
queues,
and
prompts
are
now
associated
with
a
single
workspace
rather
than
being
shared
across
the
entire
organization.

Importantly,
the
introduction
of
workspaces
does
not
change
how
seats
for
billing
are
counted,
and
API
keys
will
continue
to
function
as
before,
scoped
to
the
workspace
they
were
created.

Resource
Management
That
Scales
with
Enterprises

For
larger
enterprises,





scalability
is
crucial.
Users
on
the
Enterprise
plan
can
create
up
to
10
workspaces
and
may
request
to
increase
this
limit.
This
feature
provides
more
granular
control
over
employee
access,
allowing
enterprises
to
isolate
sensitive
data
and
operations.
The
modularity
of
workspaces
also
enables
handling
diverse
projects
and
making
quick
adjustments
to
meet
specific
needs.

Workspaces
are
compatible
with
LangSmith’s
role-based
access
control
(RBAC),
allowing
for
detailed
management
of
permissions
within
each
workspace.
This
feature
is
particularly
useful
when
adding
users,
as
it
saves
time
by
allowing
batch
invitations
to
groups
of
workspaces
with
the
same
Workspace
Role.

User
Management
and
Permissions

In
paid
plans,
user
management
is
now
scoped
at
the
organization
level.
Users
can
be
invited
as
either

Organization
Admins
or

Organization
Users.
An

Organization
Admin
has
full
access
to
manage
all
organizational
configurations,
users,
billing,
and
workspaces.
Conversely,
an

Organization
User
can
read
organization
information
but
cannot
execute
write
actions
at
the
organization
level.
If
RBAC
is
enabled,
Organization
Users
can
be
assigned
granular
permissions
within
specific
workspaces.

What’s
Next
for
Workspaces

LangSmith
plans
to
enable
workspaces
for
self-hosted
customers,
including
a
configuration
option
to
disable
Personal
organizations.
Future
improvements
will
also
include
organization-level
management
of
usage
limits
and
programmatic
access
to
organization-level
APIs.
Additionally,
there
will
be
an
option
to
consolidate
workspaces
between
organizations.

For
more
detailed
information
on
how
to
set
up
and
manage
workspaces,
users
can
refer
to
the

conceptual
guide
and

how-to
guides
provided
by
LangSmith.

Overall,
the
introduction
of
workspaces
in
LangSmith
marks
a
significant
step
forward
in
helping
enterprises
better
manage
their
resources
and
enhance
team
collaboration.
