# 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.
