Workspace Settings
Workspace platform settings are where most of a workspace's behavior is set: defaults members inherit, limits they cannot exceed, and what they are allowed to create. They apply to one workspace, so two workspaces in the same organization can behave quite differently.
For the small set of policies that apply across every workspace at once, see Organization Settings.
Workspace Admin > Policies > Platform Settings is where most workspace behavior is set. Settings are grouped into General, Job, Template, File, Autosharing, Performance, Workstation, and Compliance. Each group saves independently, so you have to click its own Update button.
The ones with the widest effect:
Turning on Require jobs to be assigned to a project means a member cannot submit a job until they belong to a group, that group is assigned to a project, and the project has a budget. Set the groups, projects, and budgets up first, or members will be blocked as soon as you save.
"Only allow admins to create custom jobs or desktops without using a template" means users can run only pre-approved configurations. That's the strongest control available over what hardware and software get used, and it's easy to miss.
