Workspaces, Members & Roles

How workspaces, membership roles, and multi-product access work on Banana Pin.

A workspace is where your devices, members, and product access live. There are two kinds: Personal, created automatically for your own use, and Organization, created for a team you can invite people into.

Each workspace can hold devices from multiple Banana Pin products (Skymetric and others as they launch) — a product only shows up for a workspace once a device for that product has been claimed into it.

Members & roles

People are added to a workspace as members with one of four roles:

RoleCan do
OwnerEverything — including deleting the workspace.
AdminManage devices, alerts, members, invitations, and workspace settings. Cannot delete the workspace.
OperatorView everything; edit devices and alerts. Cannot manage members or settings.
ViewerRead-only access to devices, alerts, and members.
Everyone can always view and edit their own profile, regardless of role.

Inviting members

  • Owners and Admins can invite people by email from Workspace Settings → Members.
  • Invites can be scoped to specific products, so an invited member only sees those products in the workspace.
  • Invitations expire after 48 hours if not accepted.

Product divisions

"Product division" refers to which Banana Pin product (e.g. Skymetric) a device and its data belong to. A single workspace can span several product divisions at once, and each product's app only shows that product's own devices and data — even though members and permissions are managed once, in the shared workspace.
