Explore your own space
Objective
Spaces, as part of the SAP Datasphere solution, are virtual (team/project/department) environments where your administrator can assign users, add source system connections, and allocate memory and storage.
All data acquisition, preparation, and modeling in SAP Datasphere happens inside spaces. A space is a secure area. Space data cannot be accessed outside the space unless it is shared to another space or exposed for consumption. Therefore all data related workflows in SAP Datasphere start with the selection of a space.
