Workspaces

Workspaces/folders are the common units used to store and organize resources such as contracts. This endpoint returns the workspaces/folders the calling user has access to, as a tree. For operations that target a workspace (e.g., the Contract API), specify the workspace_id obtained here. To manage workspaces across the tenant (creation, permissions, etc.), see the admin workspace operations (/spaces).
