# Workplaces A workplace represents either the company for which all the processors work, or the company the approvers work for. It is the primary security access and administration boundary within Zipwire. A workplace has a proper name and a short name, has Clients, and can create assignments and assign workflows to senders. It often represents your staffing agency, but if you're not an agency, then it'll be your company directly using contract workers, in which case the client can be just set as yourself, or maybe you could represent departments, branches or cost-centers as clients. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.zipwire.io/zipwire-approve/unboxing-key-concepts/workplaces.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
