First workspace created automatically

If you sign in for the first time and you do not have any workspaces, Hoko creates one for you.

What is created

  • A workspace named Default Workspace.
  • A default collection named Links.
  • You are assigned the owner role.

What to do next

  1. Rename the workspace to match your project.
  2. Create additional collections as needed.
  3. Update your profile and workspace images.

This happens only when no workspaces exist on your account.

Workspace switching behavior

Switching workspaces changes which collections and links you can access.

How switching works

  • Use the workspace switcher in the dashboard header.
  • The selection is stored in cookies.
  • If the current collection is not available, the default collection is selected.

What changes

  • Visible links and collections.
  • Analytics scope.
  • Default collection in forms.

If you lose access to a collection, another accessible collection is selected automatically.

Role model explained

Roles control what you can do inside each collection.

Roles

  • Owner: full access including workspace settings and member management.
  • Admin: manage collections and content, invite members.
  • Editor: create and edit links, tags, partners, and templates.
  • Viewer: read-only access to links and analytics.
  • No access: the collection is hidden.

Scope

Roles are assigned per collection. You can be a viewer in one collection and an editor in another.

Only owners can change workspace identity settings.

Troubleshooting

Use these checks when the dashboard does not load or access is missing.

Missing dashboard access

  • Sign in again to refresh your session.
  • Verify you are a member of a workspace.
  • Ask an owner to send a new invite.

Workspace not found

  • Open the workspace switcher and choose another workspace.
  • Clear cookies and sign in again.
  • Contact a workspace owner to confirm membership.

Session expired

  • Reload the page.
  • Sign in again if needed.
