Workspaces/Partitions for a Global Enterprise of Users

[Dan_Stevens_]

We're in the process of deploying Marketo across our global organization and are determining how best to setup our environment that reflects how we are organized (mainly for reporting) but also to ensure we are compliant with our strict data policies (especially in Europe).  We have three area marketing teams: NA, APAC, and Europe.  Our thought was to define a lead partition for each country (especially important for European countries) and then three workspaces that would contain the appropriate lead partitions (US and Canada would be part of the the NA workspace).  But what's unclear is whether we can also define user roles that would restrict access to specific lead partitions.  For example, the marketers in France would have access to the Europe worspace, but only the France lead partition.  Is this possible?  Any advice/guidance from others who have deployed Marketo across a global enterprise would be very helpful.  Thanks!

I'm not 100% sure, but one way to test this is to setup users just as you described. If there's no option for Partition access, then no, it won't work. I'm pretty sure you can do that. For instance, a user might still be able to log in to "France" but not see anything.

I second that almost-100% vote of confidence.

I just did a test as you suggested, Josh, and unfortunately "lead partitions" are not availalbe as checkboxes when defining user roles.  I would have expected the lead partitions to appear beneath each of their assigned workspaces.  So I guess the only option is to create a separate workspace for every lead partition (every country).  Not happy.
