Areas

Areas let you organize your application into distinct workspaces, each with its own permissions, navigation, and visual identity. Use areas to create separate experiences for different user groups within a single project.

Example use cases

• Admin Panel vs Customer Portal — Different views for internal staff and external customers
• Department Workspaces — Finance, HR, and Operations each see only relevant data
• Multi-Tenant Applications — Isolated environments for different organizations
• Role-Based Views — Managers see dashboards while staff see data entry forms
