# Share connectors across workspaces

## Overview

Connectors and their Connector Functions are critical assets for the functioning of your operations. In some cases, it makes sense to share these assets across Workspaces. **Examples**

- Every workspace should be reporting defects to the same SQL table, with the same format, so the connector writing to that table should be shared
- Every workspace is interacting with our global SAP instance, I want to share this asset across workspaces

In other cases, Connectors really only make sense in the context of one workspace. **Examples**

- Facility 1 is the only facility that uses lifeX andon lights, so sharing that connector with other sites doesn't make sense
- Facility 2 is adopting a new warehouse management system, but this system hasn't been rolled out to other facilities
- Facility 1 has their own credentials to talk to the shared SQL database

## How to Use

          Note

          

Historically all connectors were shared across workspaces, when connectors across workspaces is enabled, all existing connectors will set to `global` to maintain behavior.

### On Creation

On creation, new Connectors are scoped only to that Workspace. This is indicated by the absence of the globe icon next to the connector name: ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/7c6ff534-cad3-4fc8-9583-912c4016362f/Images/Documentation/image%28117%29.png)

### Share with another Workspace

To share this connector with other Workspaces:

1. Select **"..."** menu next to the connector.
2. Select **Assign**.

3. Pick which workspaces you would like to share this connector with, or select a single workspace to move this connector to.

4. Click **Assign**.

When `All Workspaces` is selected, that connector is exposed in the connectors page in all workspaces. When a specific workspace is selected, it only appears within that workspace (and disappears from the original source workspace). ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/7c6ff534-cad3-4fc8-9583-912c4016362f/Images/Documentation/image%28118%29.png)

**Connectors**

**Connectors** enable real-time connectivity between your Tulip solution and a transactional system (e.g. an ERP). The output of a Connector Function can be used in Tulip Apps, Automations, and Functions.

- **HTTP Connectors** utilize HTTP API endpoints.
- **SQL Connectors** can enable connectivity with certain SQL databases.
- **MQTT Connectors** can connect to MQTT brokers for machine monitoring.

**Connector Function**

**Connector Functions** are individual operations to interact with an HTTP or SQL Datasources. Connector Functions can have inputs and outputs, and can be called from: Triggers, Functions, Automations, and AI Agents.

Once pulled, data can be used throughout your applications.

**Workspace**

**Workspaces** are a model within Tulip to separate Tulip assets to match the places where work is being done. A workspace should represent a single facility, line, or department. With workspaces, users across facilities can easily collaborate, share their solutions, and improve their global operations.
