Tenant Isolation via Workspaces
Zipteam is a cloud-based multi-tenant(workspace) platform. Users can belong to multiple workspaces.
Workspace includes:
- Tenant users (Users who are members of the workspace): Invited via email, with roles such as Admin, Manager, or Member.
- Roles: Define permissions for accessing data and managing features within the Workspace.
- Skills Data: Each user maintains a personalized skills graph and skill domains associated actions.
Each Workspace operates as an isolated tenant, ensuring that data and configurations specific to that organization are kept separate.
Certain parts of the Account Profile—such as a photo, headline, location, and time zone—are global and not restricted to a single Workspace. This information is visible across all Workspaces the user belongs to.
Key Concepts
Zipteam is a skill management platform designed to address three fundamental challenges:
- What skills exist within the organization?
- How can skills be evaluated objectively, free from bias and inconsistencies?
- How can teams be assembled with the verified ability to execute projects based on their skills?
Zipteam is designed for organizations that aim to build strong, balanced, and skill-based teams—focusing on actual capabilities rather than job titles or resumes. It serves team leaders, HR professionals, project managers, and individual contributors.
