MSP workspaces overview

Managed Service Provider (MSP) admin users with sufficient permissions can manage their respective customer workspaces from the Workspaces page.

MSP admin users manage the following workspace types:

  • Regular: Standalone workspaces assigned to direct customers and managed by admin users. Regular workspaces cannot serve as parents or containers for channel workspaces.

  • Channel: MSP workspaces that function as the parent/container of child workspaces and other channel (subchannel) workspaces.

  • Child: Workspaces belonging to the customers of an MSP admin user.

MSP-managed workspace hierarchy

Coro organizes MSP-managed workspaces into the following hierarchical structure:

Hierarchy
Workspace typeDescription
Root ChannelCoro creates this primary channel workspace from which descendant channel and child workspaces originate. MSP admin users oversee the entire network of descendant workspaces from this root channel.
ChannelMSP admin users create and manage channel workspaces directly from the root channel workspace or from within other respective descendant channel workspaces. Each channel workspace operates as a subordinate administrative center within the root channel's network, managing its own set of channel and child workspaces.
ChildMSP admin users create and manage child workspaces either directly from the root channel or from within other respective descendant channels. Child workspaces belong to MSP customers. MSP admin users cannot create additional workspaces from child workspaces.

MSP admin users with responsibility for managing multiple MSPs can use the Channel workspace switcher at the top of the Global View console to switch between MSP channel hierarchies:

Global view MSP channel switcher

Coro updates the Workspaces page to reflect the workspace structure for the selected provider.

Important
  • An account can serve as an MSP admin user in one workspace within an MSP hierarchy.

  • An account can also serve as an MSP admin user in other independent MSPs.

Using list view

In list view, Coro provides a paginated display of all available workspaces. This view is useful for MSP admin users who want to scan, search, and take bulk actions across large sets of workspaces:

Workspace list view

List view shows the following details for each workspace:

If applicable, list view displays the name of the parent channel workspace after the workspace type:

Select ACTIONS to perform the following workspace actions:

MSP Actions

Managing individual workspaces

From the Workspaces page, you can manage individual workspaces. Actions vary depending on your selected view (hierarchy or list) and your MSP admin user role. You can edit workspace details, manage subscriptions, archive workspaces, and add workspace labels, either individually or in bulk.

To select actions for a workspace in hierarchy view, select the workspace in the left pane, and then select ACTIONS:

Hierarchy view actions

To select actions for a workspace in list view, select the three-dot menu adjacent to that workspace:

List view actions

The actions include:

To go to the Actionboard of the selected workspace, select:

  • VIEW WORKSPACE in hierarchy view:

    List view view workspace

The actions available for each listed workspace depend on the MSP admin user's role within the MSP hierarchy to which the workspace belongs.

Managing multiple workspaces

To perform an action on multiple workspaces together, select the checkboxes adjacent to the workspaces you want to affect:

  • In hierarchy view:

    Hierarchy view bulk

    To select or deselect all workspaces in the hierarchy, select the checkbox adjacent to Workspaces:

    Hierarchy view select all

    You can also hover over a channel workspace to view a three-dot menu. From the three-dot menu, select:

    • Select all descendants: Select all descendant channel and child workspaces.
    • Select all descendant children: Select all immediate child workspaces.
    Hierarchy view channel bulk
