Assembla Spaces are designed to allow you to regulate which information you want to share and which you want to keep private.
When you create a new Space, it is Private by default (Non-Member Access = None), but you can change it to public from the Space Settings (Admin) tab. A private space is invisible to people who are not members of your space. It does not appear in searches by non-team members. If you change your space to public (Non-Member Access = View or Edit), your space appears in search results for anyone, including non-Assembla users.
Understanding permission levels
The following permissions levels are currently available:
All. The default permission for owners. It grants the user access to all of the settings in a space, including taking ownership. Be careful when granting ALL permissions.
Edit. The default permission for members. It allows them to create, edit, or remove content such as tickets, code, files, etc.
View. The default permission for watchers. It allows them access to view the space, but not to make changes.
None. The default permissions on all new spaces. If this one is changed to View, your space changes from private to public and users outside your space have access to your content.
Understanding permissions at the space level
To access your Space’s security settings, you must be an Admin for that space. Click Space Settings > Security.
You can set levels of access (View, Edit, or All) for team members, watchers, and non-members. Additionally, you can designate IP addresses as watchers.
Non-member access can also be set as View, Edit, All, or None.
Click More for additional options, including the ability to make the space public by checking Anybody can join this space.
You also can whitelist IP addresses and allow them to connect to the space.
Additionally, you can change the level of access required to view the space Team tab to None, Owner, Member, or Watcher.
To ensure your changes are kept, make sure you click Save Changes before leaving the page.
Understanding permissions at the tool level
You may want to choose a specific permission for each of the tools. For example, you might want your watchers to be able to see the wiki page but not the tickets tool. Set custom permissions for each tool installed in your space, including individual repositories of any type. Change access to None, View, Edit, or All for team members, watchers, as well as the public.
