  title: Altostrat Workspaces API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >-
    The Altostrat Workspaces API is the microservice responsible for tenancy,
    billing, user identity, and organizational hierarchy.

    It serves as the foundational layer for all multi-tenancy and subscription
    logic within the Altostrat SDX platform, enabling the secure separation of
    customer data and resources for SD-WAN, network automation, and agentic AI
    features.

    This API allows you to programmatically manage:

    - **Workspaces:** The top-level containers for all tenant resources, users,
    and billing configurations.

    - **Organizations:** Hierarchical entities used to model customer tenants or
    business units, track resource usage, and apply limits.

    - **Billing & Subscriptions:** The financial accounts and Stripe-powered
    subscriptions that govern access to Altostrat SDX features and resources.

    - **Members & Access:** The users and their specific roles (Owner, Admin,
    Viewer) within a workspace.

    Developers use this API to build the structural foundation and manage the
    billing lifecycle upon which all other Altostrat SDX automation and AI
    features operate.
