Rename a NocoDB workspace, require two-factor authentication, delete or leave a workspace, and find the workspace ID.

The workspace configuration is in **Settings** in the workspace sidebar. **Settings** has the **General**, **Billing**, **Audits** and **Single Sign-On (SSO)** tabs. **General** has the **Appearance**, **AI Skills**, **Security** and **Danger Zone** sections.

## Rename workspace

1. In the workspace sidebar, click **Settings**.
2. Open the **General** tab.
3. Select **Appearance**.
4. Change the **Name** field. To change the workspace icon, click the icon next to the field.
5. Click **Save**.

## Require two-factor authentication

Workspace owners can make two-factor authentication (2FA) necessary for the full workspace. When this setting is on, all workspace members must set up 2FA on their account before they can open this workspace.

<Callout type="info">
  Only the 

  **workspace owner**

   can change this setting. It is available on 

  **NocoDB Cloud**

   (Enterprise plan) and licensed self-hosted deployments (Scale plan and above).
</Callout>

To require 2FA for a workspace:

1. In the workspace sidebar, click **Settings**.
2. Open the **General** tab.
3. Select **Security**.
4. Turn on **Require two-factor authentication**. A dialog opens.
5. Confirm in the dialog.

<img alt="Require two-factor authentication" src={__img1} placeholder="blur" />

<Callout type="warning">
  If you don't have 2FA set up on your own account, the confirmation dialog warns that you will be locked out of the workspace until you set it up. Configure 2FA on your account first to avoid losing access.
</Callout>

<img alt="Confirm require two-factor authentication" src={__img2} placeholder="blur" />

When the setting is on:

| Member                                                                  | Result                                                                                                                                    |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Existing members without 2FA                                            | NocoDB asks them to set up 2FA the next time they try to open the workspace.                                                              |
| New invitees                                                            | They must complete the 2FA setup before they can open the workspace.                                                                      |
| Members who already have 2FA on their account                           | No change.                                                                                                                                |
| Members who sign in through SSO (for example, Google OAuth, SAML, OIDC) | The requirement does not apply to them. They open the workspace as usual, because the SSO provider manages their authentication security. |

To stop the requirement, turn off the setting. Some members turned on 2FA only for this policy. They can keep 2FA or remove it in their own **Account Settings** → **Security**.

To learn how members set up 2FA on their account, refer to [Two-Factor Authentication](/docs/product/account-settings/authentication/two-factor-authentication).

## Delete workspace

This action deletes the workspace and all its bases, tables, and data permanently.

<Callout type="warning">
  **This action is irreversible.**

   This will permanently remove the workspace and all its contents.
</Callout>

<Callout type="info">
  Only the 

  **workspace owner**

   can delete a workspace.
</Callout>

1. In the workspace sidebar, click **Settings**.
2. Open the **General** tab.
3. Select **Danger Zone**.
4. Click **Delete Workspace**. A dialog opens.
5. To confirm, enter the workspace name in the dialog.

<img alt="Delete workspace confirmation" src={__img4} placeholder="blur" />

### Workspaces with an active subscription

You cannot delete a workspace that has an active paid subscription. NocoDB asks you to cancel the subscription first. It also gives a link directly to the **Billing** tab.

<img alt="Cancel subscription before deleting workspace" src={__img5} placeholder="blur" />

Cancel the subscription in [Billing](/docs/product/workspaces/billing#cancel-plan). Then delete the workspace.

## Leave workspace

If you do not need access to a workspace, you can leave it. After you leave, you cannot open the workspace until someone invites you again.

1. In the workspace sidebar, click **Settings**.
2. Open the **General** tab.
3. Select **Danger Zone**.
4. Click **Leave Workspace**.

## Find workspace ID

Each workspace has a unique ID. You can find it in three places:

* Open the workspace switcher at the top of the sidebar. The active workspace card shows **WORKSPACE ID**. Click the ID to copy it.
* Go to **Settings** → **General** → **Appearance**. The ID is above the **Name** field. Click the ID to copy it.
* When you open a workspace, read the ID in the URL.

Example:

```
https://app.nocodb.com/w7kjha1w/...
```

In this example, the workspace ID is `w7kjha1w`.
