Platform Hierarchy
Every resource in Chevre lives at a specific level of the following hierarchy. Understanding this structure helps you organize your team’s work in the most effective way.
The relationship is strictly hierarchical: your organization holds workspaces, each workspace holds projects, each project holds workflows, and automations run within those workflows.
Core Concepts at a Glance
Workspaces
A workspace is the top-level container for your team’s projects, members, and settings. Invite collaborators, configure integrations, and manage billing all in one place.
Projects
Projects organize related workflows and resources inside a workspace. Use them to separate work by team, product area, or client engagement.
Members & Permissions
Chevre’s role-based access control lets you define exactly what each team member can see and do — at both the workspace and project level.

How the Concepts Relate
Chevre’s hierarchy is designed so that each layer adds a meaningful boundary around your work. Workspaces contain projects. A workspace represents a team or environment boundary. Everything inside it — projects, members, integrations, and billing — is scoped to that workspace. Members of one workspace cannot see another workspace’s projects unless they are explicitly invited. Projects contain workflows. A project groups related workflows together under a shared context, such as a product area or a recurring process. Projects also carry their own visibility settings, letting you share some workflows broadly while keeping others restricted to specific members. Automations run within workflows. An automation is always attached to a specific workflow. It defines the trigger — a schedule, a webhook, an event — that causes the workflow’s steps to execute. Automations inherit the permissions and environment of the project and workspace they belong to.You can be a member of multiple workspaces under the same organization. Switch between them at any time using the workspace selector in the top-left corner of the dashboard.
