How Lighthouse is Structured
- A Workspace contains one or more Portfolios and manages billing, members, and settings.
- A Portfolio contains Accounts (onchain wallets, CEX connections, manual accounts) and all associated data (snapshots, strategies, investments, airdrops).
- Members are invited at the workspace level and can be given access to specific portfolios.
Creating a Workspace
After signing up, you are redirected to create your first workspace.- Choose Individual or Team depending on whether you plan to use Lighthouse alone or with others.
- Set a Workspace name and Workspace slug (the URL identifier, e.g.
lighthouse.one/w/my-workspace). - For Team workspaces, provide a Billing email.
- Click
Create workspace.
Workspace Roles
Every workspace member has one of three roles. These control access to workspace-level settings, billing, and member management.| Role | Capabilities |
|---|---|
| Owner | Full control. Can delete the workspace, manage billing, invite/remove members, and create/delete portfolios. Automatic admin access to all portfolios. |
| Admin | Creates portfolios, manages invites and membership, manages billing. Automatic admin access to all portfolios. |
| Member | No access to workspace settings. Can only access portfolios they have been explicitly added to. |
Each workspace has exactly one Owner. The Owner role cannot be transferred.

| User | Normal read-write access. Can add/edit accounts, create strategies, and work with portfolio data. |
