Workspace object permissions will soon be inherited from all account groups

In an upcoming release, workspace object permissions will be inherited from all account groups, not just groups directly assigned to the workspace.

What it does

In an upcoming release, workspace object permissions will be inherited from all account groups, not just groups directly assigned to the workspace. Principals will inherit permissions on workspace objects, such as jobs, notebooks, folders, queries, and dashboards, from all account groups of which they are a member, regardless of whether those groups are assigned to the workspace. Users still need to be assigned to the workspace to use these permissions.
