• Assigning or revoking administrator status for workspace users

• Managing the permissions associated with administrator roles

3. Application Management

Portal Installation and Removal:

• Installing new portal applications from the available options in the Bizcloud domain

• Removing unnecessary or outdated portal applications

• Retaining previously granted permissions for potential future reinstallation

Role-Based Access Control:

• Defining and assigning roles to users based on their responsibilities and required access levels

• Customizing permission sets for each role to ensure appropriate access to workspace resources

5. Data Synchronization and Integration

External System Connections:

• Managing connections to external systems via the integration service

• Configuring data synchronization settings between the workspace and external platforms

Data Import/Export:

• Overseeing the import of data from external sources into the workspace

• Managing data export processes for reporting or integration purposes

6. Security and Compliance

Access Monitoring:

• Reviewing and auditing user access logs

• Identifying and addressing potential security breaches or unauthorized access attempts

Compliance Management:

• Ensuring the workspace adheres to relevant data protection regulations (e.g., GDPR, POPIA)

• Implementing and maintaining data retention and deletion policies

7. Workspace Backup and Recovery

Data Backup:

• Configuring and scheduling regular backups of workspace data

• Verifying the integrity of backup data

Recovery Procedures:

• Establishing and testing disaster recovery processes

• Managing the restoration of workspace data in case of data loss or corruption

8. Performance Monitoring and Optimization

Resource Allocation:

• Monitoring workspace resource usage and performance metrics

• Optimizing resource allocation to ensure smooth operation

Scalability Management:

• Planning for and implementing workspace scaling as user base or data volume grows

• Coordinating with Bizcloud domain administrators for infrastructure upgrades if needed

9. User Support and Training

Support System Management:

• Setting up and maintaining user support channels within the workspace

• Managing support ticket systems and response procedures

Training Coordination:

• Organizing and overseeing user training programs for new features or applications

• Developing and maintaining user documentation and guides

10. Workspace Lifecycle Management

Workspace Archiving:

• Implementing procedures for archiving inactive or obsolete workspaces

• Managing the transition of data and users during workspace consolidation or division

Workspace Termination:

• Executing the proper procedures for safely terminating a workspace when required

• Ensuring all data is properly exported or deleted according to organizational policies

By effectively managing these aspects of Workspace Administration, administrators can ensure the smooth operation, security, and efficiency of their Bizcloud workspaces. This foundational level of management sets the stage for more advanced configurations and dynamic adaptations handled through the Workspace Control portal, collectively providing a comprehensive workspace management solution within the Bizcloud framework.
