# Intro to your workspace

## What's in a workspace?

The workspace is the highest-level organizational unit in Count. Workspaces contain data, members, projects, and canvases. Typically, each organization has one workspace.&#x20;

Workspace owners create and manage the workspace and it's billing settings. Owners and admins can invite other members and guests, and assign their project roles.

### Members & roles

Every member of the workspace has a role. These roles indicate which actions they can perform, and which resources they can access.&#x20;

Within each project workspace members may be granted roles, which determine their access to project contents.

### Projects

Projects are collections of members and canvases. They typically refer to departments (e.g. "Sales team"), or types of work (e.g. "Our data models").

Projects can be [assigned database connections](../../settings-and-administration/project-settings#managing-data) and [members](../../settings-and-administration/project-settings#managing-project-access), and contain a collection of canvases.

### Connections

At the heart of Count is your data, and owners or admins can manage database connections from the [**Connections**](../database-connections/database-connection-overview) section of your workspace:

* Manage database credentials
* Assign connections to projects
* Update database schema
* Delete the connection
