.. _workspace-inheritance:
=====================
Workspace inheritance
=====================
Workspaces can inherit from one another in order to share collections and
artifacts when required.
Each workspace has a (possibly empty) ordered list of parent workspaces, which
can be configured by workspace owners.
When a collection is looked up in a workspace and it is not found, then all
parent workspaces will be tried in turn.
Parent workspaces that the current user cannot access are skipped, and the
search continues along the inheritance chain.
Search is recursive: if a collection is not found in a parent workspace, its
parents are searched too, resulting in a depth-first search of the inheritance
tree.
