Workspaces
A workspace is the container for your domains, mailboxes, members, and billing. Every account starts with a Personal workspace, and you can be a member of as many workspaces as you like – useful for separating your personal mail from a business, a side project, or your family domain.
How workspaces work
One workspace, many members
Each workspace owns a set of domains, the mailboxes on those domains, and the people who can access them. You can add as many members as you like. Members take up one seat in your subscription, and admins get an email notification whenever a new member is added or removed.
Manage workspace members from Settings → Workspace → Admin.
One account, many workspaces
A single Cirrux login can be a member of multiple workspaces. Billing, domains, and members are scoped to each workspace, so a business workspace and your Personal workspace stay cleanly separated.
You can create a new workspace at any time from Settings → Workspaces → Create workspace.
Billing per workspace
Each workspace has its own billing. That keeps personal and business invoices separate, and means a colleague joining your business workspace doesn’t see anything about your Personal workspace.
Manage the plan and invoices for a workspace from Settings → Workspace → Billing.
Setting up your family or team
The most common reason to invite members is to share a domain – for example, giving every family member their own name@yourdomain.com mailbox. A domain is always tied to a single workspace, so the people sharing it need to be members of that same workspace.
1. Add your domain
In the workspace that should own the domain, go to Settings → Workspace → Domains and add your domain. Follow the Domains & DNS guide to point your DNS at Cirrux.
2. Invite the other members
Go to Settings → Workspace → Admin and add a member for each person you want to bring on board.
- If you enter an email address, that person receives an invitation email which they can use to sign in with an existing Cirrux account, or create a new one. You'll be notified when they join.
- If you leave the email field blank, Cirrux generates login credentials for them right there – useful for family members who don’t already have a Cirrux account.
3. Give each member a mailbox
Once a member has joined, create a mailbox on your shared domain for them. By default they’ll only see the mailboxes they have access to – non-admins don’t see workspace-wide settings or other members’ mail.
If they’re moving from another provider, point them at the Google Sync or IMAP import guide to bring their old mail across.
Admins and regular members
Admins can manage the workspace – add domains and members, and change billing. Regular members only see their own mailboxes.
Agencies and partners
Managing multiple client workspaces
Because a single user can be a member of any number of workspaces, agencies and IT partners can manage email for multiple clients from one Cirrux login. Each client keeps their own workspace, billing, and domains; you join as an admin on every workspace you operate. Dedicated partner tooling is in active development – get in touch if you’re setting this up and we’ll help you map your structure onto Cirrux.
