What is an Assembla space?
An Assembla "space" is a collaboration workspace for your team. The space is a house for all your code, files, tickets, and conversations. Many companies have multiple projects and create a space for each project. Others create a milestone per project.
How do I control email notifications?
Assembla provides a powerful feature to configure email alerts that are triggered based on each member’s saved settings. These alerts help customers stay updated about their team's activity. You can easily control your email notifications either from https://app.assembla.com/user/edit/email_notification page or Stream > Alert Settings subtab within each space.

Click Save.

How do I delete a space?
An Owner of the space can go to Space Settings in the space, scroll down to the bottom of the page, and then click Delete this space. Type the space URL name, and then click Delete this project and all the information it.
What are View, Edit, and All permissions?
User access is categorized into the following levels in Assembla:
View. The lowest permission level. It allows users to only see the tools that they have permission to watch. The permissions are set by the owner of the space.
Edit. Allows users to edit and create tickets, post comments, create or update messages and wiki pages, and make commits to your repository.
Owner. The most powerful role in a space with All permission. Allows owners to add and remove tools and change team member lists.
The two most common permission settings are:
For a public space: Non-member access = View & Team = Edit
For a private project: Non-member access = None & Team=Edit
