# Creating a dataspace

## Overview

To create a new dataspace, select an existing dataspace on which to base it, then click the Create a dataspace button in the workspace.

##### Note

This area is available only to authorized users in the 'Advanced perspective'.

The new dataspace will be a child dataspace of the one from which it was created. It will be initialized with all the content of the parent at the time of creation, and an initial snapshot will be taken of this state.

Aside from the reference dataspace, which is the root of all dataspaces in the repository, dataspaces are always a child of another dataspace.

## Properties

The following information is required at the creation of a new dataspace:

Identifier | Unique identifier for the dataspace.
Owner | Owner of the dataspace, who is, by default, allowed to modify its information and permissions. The owner does not necessarily have to be the creator of the dataspace.
Label | Localized label and description associated with the dataspace.
