Workspaces available in Open Beta

June 24, 2026 · Permalink

We are excited to announce the launch of Workspaces Open Beta, a major architectural evolution designed to give businesses, growing teams, and partners complete control over their cloud environments. This update introduces a brand-new Organization framework that cleanly replaces subaccounts, offering robust resource isolation, flexible multi-tenant access, and enterprise-grade authentication.

Starting today, every new user signing up at the new signup page can seamlessly transition to logical environment separation while maintaining a unified overview of their infrastructure. If you want to migrate your existing UpCloud account to workspaces (created before workspaces), please contact our support.

Note that while Workspaces is fully functional, it is not yet recommended for production environments, and standard UpCloud SLAs do not apply.

Key Features in Open Beta

1. Centralized Multi-Workspace Structure

Consolidated Environments: Transition from the old "Subaccounts" model to a modern Organization architecture. An Organization acts as your overarching umbrella entity, housing multiple separate Workspaces beneath it.
Logical Resource Separation: Isolate environments. Each Workspace holds its own dedicated set of resources, allowing you to separate, for example, your development, staging and production environments.
Seamless Multi-Tenant Access: A single personal user account can now belong to multiple distinct organizations or workspaces. Move between different environments effortlessly using a new sidebar dropdown menu in the UpCloud Hub.

2. Modernized Enterprise Authentication (SSO & OIDC)

Standard Single Sign-On (SSO): Authenticate instantly using major third-party identity providers, including Google, GitHub, and Microsoft Entra ID.
Custom Corporate IDPs: Organizations can securely connect their own custom OpenID Connect (OIDC)identity providers for streamlined corporate compliance and user lifecycle management.

3. Multi-Layered Access Governance

Split Governance Roles: Access management is now cleanly divided into two layers: Organization roles and Workspace access levels.
- Organization Level: Assign roles such as Org Owner, Admins, or Members to control broad organizational oversight and invitation privileges.
- Workspace Level: Fine-tune permissions within specific workspaces by granting Owner access, Full access, or Limited access tiers.

Coming Soon (General Availability)

We are actively iterating on your feedback during this beta period. Our upcoming General Availability (GA) release will formally introduce the following features:

Workspaces Permission: Improved and more granular access control for workspace members, including Read-only access roles.
Multi-Org Support: The ability to create, manage, and toggle between multiple completely separate organizations from a single account.
Workspaces Org-Level Billing: Consolidated billing and automated invoicing aggregates tailored at the root Organization level, eliminating manual calculations.
Workspaces API Management: Full programmatic capabilities to create, modify, and delete workspaces via the UpCloud API
