# Workspace
2021-11-18 22:05:49 +05:30
Workspace will be above the [top-level namespaces ](../group/index.md#namespaces ) for you to manage
everything you do as a GitLab administrator, including:
2021-09-30 23:02:18 +05:30
- Defining and applying settings to all of your groups, subgroups, and projects.
- Aggregating data from all your groups, subgroups, and projects.
2021-11-18 22:05:49 +05:30
Our goal is to reach feature parity between SaaS and self-managed installations, with all
[Admin Area settings ](/ee/user/admin_area/settings/ ) moving to either:
2021-09-30 23:02:18 +05:30
2021-11-18 22:05:49 +05:30
- Groups. Available in the Workspace, top-level group namespaces, and sub-groups.
- Hardware Controls. For functionality that does not apply to groups, Hardware Controls are only
applicable to self-managed installations. There is one Hardware Controls section per installation.

NOTE:
Workspace is currently in development.
