## Chapter 5: Restricted and Unrestricted Configuration of Workspaces

EKM provides many options for configuring a workspace on an EKM server that allows you to better meet your business requirements and easily integrate with your IT infrastructure. Recall that an EKM server can be “partitioned” into different workspaces that each has its own users, groups, custom types, scripts, object lifecycles, external applications, and so on. Workspace configuration is specific to a single workspace, which means that different workspaces in the same server can have their own configurations and that configuration changes made in one workspace do not impact any other workspace. Furthermore, these changes can be made dynamically without requiring the server to be shutdown or restarted. This is in contrast to EKM server configuration, described in Configuring EKM Server Settings, that applies to all workspaces in an EKM server, and requires a server restart for changes to take effect.

There are two types of workspace configuration that can be performed in EKM:

- Restricted configuration: This type of configuration requires the workspace to be locked down. It can only be done by the user designated as the Root User. No other user can sign in to the workspace while the configuration is being performed.

- Unrestricted configuration: This type of configuration can be done at any time by anyone belonging to the `admin` group. It does not require that the workspace be locked down and does not impact users of the workspace.
