It's a collaboration space where you can organize team members, access levels and the +nodes you want to monitor. + +Let's talk through some strategies for creating the most intuitive Cloud experience for your team. + +## How to organize your Netdata Cloud + +You can use any number of Spaces you want, but as you organize your Cloud experience, keep in mind that _you can only +add any given node to a single Space_. This 1:1 relationship between node and Space may dictate whether you use one +encompassing Space for your entire team and separate them by War Rooms, or use different Spaces for teams monitoring +discrete parts of your infrastructure. + +If you have been invited to Netdata Cloud by another user by default you will able to see this space. If you are a new +user the first space is already created. + +The other consideration for the number of Spaces you use to organize your Netdata Cloud experience is the size and +complexity of your organization. + +For small team and infrastructures we recommend sticking to a single Space so that you can keep all your nodes and their +respective metrics in one place. You can then use +multiple [War Rooms](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/war-rooms.md) +to further organize your infrastructure monitoring. + +Enterprises may want to create multiple Spaces for each of their larger teams, particularly if those teams have +different responsibilities or parts of the overall infrastructure to monitor. For example, you might have one SRE team +for your user-facing SaaS application and a second team for infrastructure tooling. If they don't need to monitor the +same nodes, you can create separate Spaces for each team. + +## Navigate between spaces + +Click on any of the boxes to switch between available Spaces. + +Netdata Cloud abbreviates each Space to the first letter of the name, or the first two letters if the name is two words +or more. Hover over each icon to see the full name in a tooltip. + +To add a new Space click on the green **+** button . Enter the name of the Space and click **Save**. + + + +## Manage Spaces + +Manage your spaces by selecting in a particular space and clicking in the small gear icon in the lower left corner. This +will open a side tab in which you can: + +1. _Configure this Space*_, in the first tab (**Space**) you can change the name, description or/and some privilege + options of this space + +2. _Edit the War Rooms*_, click on the **War rooms** tab to add or remove War Rooms. + +3. _Connect nodes*_, click on **Nodes** tab.
