# Account Management

> Welcome to the Account Management learning track on Vantage University!

## <Icon size={24} color="#6742D6" iconType="solid" icon="lightbulb" /> What Are Workspaces?

Workspaces in Vantage let you separate your provider integrations into distinct cost views. You connect cloud provider accounts to Vantage, then assign each integration to one or more workspaces. Each workspace is its own environment where you can organize and analyze costs and resources—for a single provider or across multiple providers.

Workspaces in Vantage offer several benefits.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Cost Visibility">
    Workspaces enable users to gain a comprehensive view of expenses within a specific cloud provider account or across multiple providers, facilitating better cost management and optimization.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Resource Organization">
    By grouping resources within workspaces, teams can create focused views tailored to their specific needs.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Access Control">
    With role-based access controls (RBAC) (Enterprise feature), administrators can also limit user access to different workspaces.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Cloud Administrator">
    As a **cloud administrator** overseeing a diverse infrastructure, you can create a distinct Vantage workspace for each of your environments, such as *Production*, *Staging*, and *Development*. Then, specify which provider accounts are associated with which workspace. For example, a particular Datadog account may be associated with only your *Development* workspace.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Product Manager">
    As a **product manager** who is responsible for overseeing various products or services, attributing costs accurately is important for team accountability. By creating separate workspaces for each product or service, you can isolate expenses, track resource utilization, and easily assess the financial performance of individual offerings.
