# Understand your workspace structure

> Separate shared billing, client organization, connected accounts, websites, and teammate access.

A workspace brings together the subscription, shared credits, team, connected ad accounts, and websites. Client workspaces organize those resources for each client; permissions still determine who can use them.

```

Solid arrows show organization. Dotted arrows show access. Putting an account or website in a client does not grant the teammate permission to use it.

## Choose the control for the job

| What you need | Where to go | What changes |
| - | - | - |
| Pay for the workspace or buy credits | **Settings → Billing** | Shared plan and wallet, managed by the owner. |
| Invite a person or change their role/accounts | **Settings → Team** | That person’s role and permitted ad accounts. |
| Keep a client’s accounts and sites together | **Settings → Client workspaces** | Client organization and optional usage ceilings. |
| Add provider authorization or choose a Google customer | **Settings → Connections** | What the provider connection can reach. |
| Work on a Meta account | Sidebar account selector | The account context for the selected work. |
| Give access to a website | The website’s access controls | That website’s permission, separate from ad accounts. |

An account name can appear in more than one context. Check its provider account ID when connecting, assigning it to a client, or choosing where to make an ad change.

## Example: a teammate working for one client

The owner connects the client’s account and website, puts them in a client workspace, and invites the teammate with the intended ad-account access. If they also need website reports or setup, the owner checks website access separately. Selecting the client organizes their work; it does not replace those permission steps.

A client’s credit or event ceiling limits use of the shared allowance. It does not buy more capacity or create a separate wallet. [Current plan limits](/billing/limits) explain what counts toward the workspace totals.
