Do Account settings apply to all my workspaces?
Do Account settings apply to all my workspaces?

Why is my account email address different from my workspace mail?
Why is my account email address different from my workspace mail?
Your account email address is the one you use to log in to awork. Only you can change it in your account settings. You can use the same account to access multiple awork workspaces.
Within each workspace, you have a separate user profile. This profile can contain different information depending on the workspace. If permissions allow, other users (e.g. admins) may edit your workspace profile — for example, to add contact information.
These changes do not affect your login email or account settings. Notifications are always sent to the email address stored in your account.
That’s why your account email address and workspace email can be different.
