Workspace Discovery
The public base-domain process that resolves the correct tenant workspace before tenant-specific authentication or recovery begins.
Workspace discovery is the public routing step that helps a person land in the correct tenant before authentication begins. The process can use a workspace slug, an approved company domain, or other validated routing hints, but it stays on the platform-owned base domain.
That approach keeps tenant identity boundaries cleaner. Recovery, sign-in, and return-to-workspace shortcuts all start with the platform resolving the right tenant host rather than assuming one after the user is already inside an authentication flow.
GlossaryQ treats workspace discovery as a product capability because it affects trust, usability, and operational clarity at the first interaction.
