# Spaces in Cosmo

A Space is the central working area in Cosmo. It is where your media assets live, your team collaborates, and your review processes take place. Every asset in Cosmo belongs to a Space.

### What is a Space?

A Space is a structured environment **inside an Organization** that allows you to:

* Store and organize media assets
* Structure content using folders
* Manage metadata
* Track review and approval status
* Collaborate with team members

You can think of a Space as a **dedicated project area**.

#### User Access in a Space

* Each Space has its **own permissions**, separate from the organization.
* Users must be explicitly added to a Space to access its assets and collaborate.
* Organization-level membership does **not automatically grant access** to all Spaces.
* This allows you to give users **limited access** to specific Spaces without affecting their organization role.
