How Workspace Administrator Works in Zoho Analytics

A Workspace Administrator in Zoho Analytics is a user role with full management privileges over a specific workspace, including the ability to add or remove users, configure sharing settings, manage data sources, and modify all reports and dashboards within that workspace.

When to Use Workspace Administrator

Use Workspace Administrator when your reporting or data needs go beyond standard defaults. This feature suits organisations working with multiple data sources, varied user groups, or specific business logic. Always confirm with your Workspace Administrator before making changes that affect shared reports used by other teams.

Key Considerations

Ensure underlying tables are clean and consistently structured before configuring Workspace Administrator. Test on a duplicate report before applying changes to production dashboards. For high-traffic workspaces, schedule configuration changes during off-peak hours to avoid disrupting active users.

India Example: At a large manufacturing company in India, the Supply Chain Analytics workspace is managed by the Supply Chain BI Lead, who has Workspace Administrator access. They can add new analysts, update connectors, and modify dashboards without waiting for the central IT department.
