Overview

Workspaces enables rural professionals to better serve their Farm Focus customers by seamlessly and easily managing their Farm Focus accounts in a secure, auditable, and trusted way.

Workspaces give rural professionals such as accountancy, bank and farm consultancy businesses direct control over who can access Farm Focus farms within their organisation and to what level. The rural professional creates a workspace. The subscription admin (usually the farm owner) permits their farm to be part of a workspace. (The subscription admin is the person who pays for the Farm Focus subscription and is usually the farm owner.) Access to farms in that workspace is then controlled by the rural professional organisation or more precisely the workspace administrator in the rural professional organisation.

Workspaces save time, improve security and ensure the correct team members have access to the correct farms at the correct time. Workspace members use their logins allowing accurate audit logging and traceability, which is not possible when a generic organisational login is used.

The subscription admin can remove their farm from a workspace at any time and this will revoke all workspace members access. They can also view who has access to their farm from the workspace.

Navigation of a Workspace

  1. Name of the workspace.

  2. The farm counter states the number of farms that are in the workspace and can be used to navigate to the Farms page.

  3. The members counter states the number of members of the workspace and can be used to navigate to the Members page.

  4. Farms page.

  5. Members page.

  6. Settings cog. Standard members will not see the setting cog.

Workspace roles

There are two types of workspace roles:

Administrator (Admin) role:

The person who created the workspace will automatically become an Admin. Every workspace must have at least one administrator. The role provides the user with full access to all functions of the workspace. This role controls which team members get access to what farms and at what level. If you have questions about the different farm access levels; Find out more.

A workspace administrator can:

  • Invite new workspace members

  • Remove workspace members

  • Request a farm be part of their workspace

  • Accept or decline a subscription admin (farm owner's) request for their farm to join a workspace

  • Remove a farm from a workspace

  • Add or remove access of a workspace member to a farm

  • Change the access level (organisation, restricted or reporting) of a workspace member to a farm

  • Change the workspace role of members from standard to admin.

Standard role:

A workspace can have as many standard members as it needs. Standard members can view all the farms that belong to the workspace but are only permitted to work on farms that they have been granted access to by the workspace administrator.

A standard member of a workspace can:

  • open and work in farms to which you have access

  • view all notifications relating to your farms

  • view your level of access to each farm

  • view all farms that are part of the workspace

  • view all pending farms

  • search for farms

  • view all members

  • view all pending members

  • search for members

All workspace members must have a Farm Focus login. Find out how to create your own login.
