### Creating Your First Workspace <a href="#creating_your_first_workspace" id="creating_your_first_workspace"></a>

A Workspace is an independent sub-account within the Organization. It gives you access to essential platform modules such as a central dashboard, Contacts, Messages, Workflows, Reports and more.

A Workspace can have multiple Users, and a single User can be granted access to multiple Workspaces. Each Workspace operates autonomously so changes in one Workspace will not be reflected in other Workspaces within the same Organization.

Get started by creating a Workspace.

{% hint style="info" %}
Your first Workspace is created when you create an Organization. Read more about Organization.
{% endhint %}

**Step 1: Sign in to IS-Messenger**

Navigate to the IS-Messenger platform and sign in with a user account.

**Step 2: Fill in basic details**

Upon the first sign-in, the platform will prompt the user to create an Organization.

**Step 3: Submit the details**

Once the details are submitted, a new Workspace is created successfully with a default name provided by the platform. The space can be navigated from the *User Profile* menu.

**Step 4: Workspace created successfully**

Now that the Workspace has been created, [connect a Channel](/ismessenger/getting-started/quick-start.md) to start receiving and sending messages.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you need to make changes to an Organization, you can do so by accessing Organization Settings.
