This guide explains how to manage multiple workspaces in PlaneConnection, including switching between organizations, managing users who belong to more than one workspace, and configuring workspace-level settings.
This feature requires administrator or workspace owner permissions. Changes made here affect all users in your workspace.
Who should read this: Workspace administrators, account owners, and users who belong to multiple organizations. Multi-workspace management is relevant to management companies, safety consultants, and personnel who operate across flight departments.Prerequisites: An active PlaneConnection account. At least one workspace where you have the Admin or Account Owner role.

Understanding Workspaces

A workspace in PlaneConnection represents a single organization — typically a flight department, Part 135 certificate holder, or FBO. Each workspace has its own:
  • Users and role assignments
  • Safety reports, investigations, and CPAs
  • Aircraft fleet and crew records
  • FBO operations data
  • Settings and configurations
  • Billing and subscription
Workspaces are fully isolated. Data from one workspace is never accessible from another, even if the same user belongs to both.

Switch Between Workspaces

If you belong to multiple workspaces, you can switch between them without signing out.
1
Open the workspace switcher
2
Click the workspace name in the top-left corner of the sidebar. A dropdown appears showing all workspaces associated with your account.
3
Select a workspace
4
Click the workspace you want to switch to. The page reloads with the selected workspace’s data, navigation, and settings.
Your role may differ between workspaces. For example, you might be an Admin in one workspace and a Safety Manager in another. The sidebar navigation and available features update automatically to match your role in the selected workspace.
Bookmark workspace-specific URLs for quick access. Each workspace has a unique URL pattern: https://app.planeconnection.com/<workspace-slug>/.... You can navigate directly to a specific workspace without using the switcher.

Vanity Subdomains

Workspaces can optionally be accessed via a vanity subdomain (e.g., skyline.planeconnection.com). This provides a branded experience for your team.

Configure a vanity subdomain

2
Go to Settings > Workspace > General in the sidebar.
3
Set the subdomain
4
Under Vanity Subdomain, enter your desired subdomain prefix. Only lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens are allowed.
5
Save and verify
6
Click Save. The subdomain becomes active immediately. Share the URL with your team.
When users visit the vanity subdomain, the sign-in page displays your organization’s name and logo (if configured), providing a branded entry point.

Manage Users Across Workspaces

Users in multiple workspaces

A single email address can be a member of multiple workspaces. Each workspace membership is independent:
AspectBehavior
RoleAssigned independently per workspace. Admin in one, Pilot in another.
Data accessScoped to the current workspace only. No cross-workspace data leakage.
SettingsProfile settings (name, avatar, 2FA) are global. Roles are per-workspace.
NotificationsSent based on the user’s role and notification preferences in each workspace.
Audit trailActions are logged per workspace. Each workspace has its own audit log.

Add a user who belongs to another workspace

Adding a user who already has a PlaneConnection account in a different workspace is the same as inviting any new user:
2
Go to Settings > Members in your workspace.
3
Invite the user
4
Click Invite Member, enter their email address, and select the appropriate role.
5
User accepts
6
The user receives an invitation email. When they accept, the new workspace appears in their workspace switcher.
The user does not need to create a new account. Their existing credentials (password, 2FA, passkeys) work across all workspaces.
When inviting users who belong to other organizations, carefully consider the role you assign. A safety consultant who needs read access to reports should receive the Auditor or Inspector role, not Admin. Follow the principle of least privilege — assign the minimum role required for the user’s function in your workspace.

Workspace Branding

Customize your workspace’s appearance so team members know which organization they are working in.

Configure branding

2
Go to Settings > Workspace > General.
4
Under Organization Logo, upload your company logo. This appears in the sidebar, sign-in page (vanity subdomain), and exported reports.
5
Set the display name
6
Enter your organization’s display name. This appears in the sidebar header and workspace switcher.
7
Save changes
8
Click Save. Branding changes appear immediately for all users in the workspace.

Cross-Organization Visibility

By design, workspaces in PlaneConnection are fully isolated. However, certain roles and features provide limited cross-organization awareness:

Platform Admin role

Users with the platform_admin role can access multiple workspaces for administrative purposes. This role is reserved for PlaneConnection support staff and is not available to end users.

Shared crew members

If a pilot or crew member belongs to multiple workspaces (e.g., they fly for two operators), their profile data is independent in each workspace. Flight hours, certifications, and training records entered in one workspace do not automatically appear in another.
If you need crew records to be consistent across workspaces, export from one workspace and import into the other. Automatic cross-workspace data synchronization is not currently supported to preserve data isolation and privacy.

Safety data isolation

Safety reports, investigations, CPAs, hazard registries, and SmartScore data are strictly workspace-scoped. This is a regulatory requirement — each certificate holder’s SMS data must be managed independently per 14 CFR Part 5.

Create a New Workspace

Account owners can create additional workspaces for managing multiple operations or certificate holders.
1
Open workspace settings
2
Click the workspace name in the sidebar, then click Create New Workspace at the bottom of the workspace list.
3
Enter workspace details
4
Provide the workspace name, slug (URL identifier), and optional description. Select the modules to enable (Safety, Ops, FBO).
5
Configure initial settings
6
Set up the FAA certificate details, address, and contact information.
7
Invite initial members
8
Add the first users to the workspace by email. At minimum, designate an Accountable Executive and Safety Manager if the Safety module is enabled, as required by 14 CFR 5.23 and 5.25.
Each workspace is a separate billing entity. Creating a new workspace may affect your subscription. Check your plan’s workspace limits in Settings > Billing before creating additional workspaces.
