• Workspaces. Workspaces are similar to the rooms of a house. The “house” is the Mindjet Connect Account. A single Mindjet Account Account, “or house,” can contain as many Workspaces, or rooms, as necessary. Account Owners set up the Workspaces, and determine who can access and/or modify the files it contains.
• Workspace Owners. When appropriate, you can an Account Owner can allow certain Account Users to take responsibility for a Workspace. A book publisher, for example, might invite one of its editors to create and manage a Workspace for an author’s new book. The editor would invite others, such as the author, the cover designer, the publicist, and the sales manager to share files saved in the Workspace.
