Managing child spaces

By default, only root admins can manage the spaces' tree topology.

This limitation stems from the fact that we also grant the root admins the ability to enforce a set of best practices across the whole organization by autoattaching policies.

However, if this limitation doesn't align with your organization's needs, you can adjust it in the account settings.

Toggling the setting

The feature is controlled by a toggle found in the account settings. Only root admins can toggle the setting.

After enabling this setting, non-root admins will be able to create, manage, and delete child spaces that are children of the spaces they administrate. After disabling the setting, non-root admins will no longer have the ability to modify spaces.
