How to Check Admin Rights and Manage Workspaces in ClickUp
Learn how to verify your administrative rights, manage members, and understand the core differences between spaces and workspaces in ClickUp.
This guide explains how to verify your administrative privileges in ClickUp and differentiate between spaces and workspaces. Completing these steps will ensure you are setting up team members, permissions, and billing correctly for your organizational environment.

Checking Admin Rights
Creating a New Space within a Workspace
Switching Workspaces and Checking Billing
If you create an entirely new workspace instead of a space, it functions as a completely isolated environment with different rules, members, roles, and billing.
Q: Why don't I see my team members after creating a new environment?
A: If you created an entirely new workspace instead of a space, it acts as a separate environment. You will need to invite users specifically to that new workspace.
Q: Are billing plans shared across different workspaces?
A: No, each workspace has its own separate billing and settings. Creating a new workspace will require a distinct subscription.
Q: How do I verify my admin status in a workspace?
A: Navigate to your workspace settings, click on the People tab, and sort by role to check if you hold an Admin title.
