Spaces are secure virtual work environments in SAP Datasphere for data acquisition and preparation — here's how to create, monitor and manage them, including resources and users.
In SAP Datasphere, all data activities occur within designated 'spaces' — secure zones where data remains inaccessible unless intentionally shared. Administrators create spaces, assign resources (disk and memory), establish priorities, and set usage limits. Spaces function as virtual work environments with independent databases, enabling flexible collaboration while maintaining security.
Create and manage a space
Click the Space Management icon, then Create; enter a space name (the Space ID generates automatically) and click Create. On the Space Management screen, spaces appear as colour-coded tiles: green indicates optimal performance, red signals overactivity requiring more resources, and blue shows underutilisation — and unused resources from a blue space can be reallocated to a red one. The monitoring screen shows disk and in-memory consumption, data-flow capacity units, and table storage consumption.
Add users
Navigate to the Members tab within your space, click Add, select the desired users and confirm. Spaces provide secure, flexible environments for collaborative data work — and following these steps lets organisations efficiently optimise their SAP Datasphere setup.
