Creating a Space
Data extraction, modification, and modeling occur in a Space.Â
As such, this is the first object that must be created in a modeling project.Â
Below are some general instructions on how to create an active Space with assigned users.Â
To create a Space, your user must have a role with Space and Space Files permissions. The default roles with this are Integrator and Space Administration.Â
1
Select Space Management in the Navigation Bar.
2
Click Create.
3
Give your space a business name.
A technical ID will be generated from your business name.

General Settings
In the General Settings tab, you can view and modify your Space properties, including your Space’s name and storage allocations.
- Your Disk space is the usable storage space for data held in Datasphere.
- Your Memory is the maximum amount of available memory that can be used in any data handling.
- As the results of data handling need to be stored, the disk space will need to be at least as large as the memory. The default is that memory is 50% of Disk storage.

Note
You can modify your space quota after the space has been deployed.
5
Save the Space to update the initial changes.
6
Then, select Deploy to activate the Space on the database.
The space is now active but cannot yet be used in the project because no users are assigned to it.

Users
The Users tab allows users with scoped roles to be assigned to the Space.
These users are the only ones that can build applications and processes within the Space.
7
Select Security in the Navigation Bar.
8
Select Roles.
The Scoped Roles section has roles that assign privileges to Spaces – letting assigned users make changes to connections, processes, and objects within those Spaces.
Your new Space must be assigned to scoped roles.
9
Select a Scoped Role.
The Task tab for the role will open.
Here, you can see the permissions allowed for the role.
