# Use your workspace account

Learn how Scholars workspace accounts work and how to access yours.

Some jobs on Scholars require a dedicated workspace account. This is a work email account used to access project tools and resources.

Your workspace account can be used for Google services connected to your work, including Google Docs, Sheets, Drive, and Chat.

## When will I receive a workspace account?

If a workspace account is needed for your job, Scholars creates it after you have an active contract for that job.

### Existing workspace accounts

If you already had a workspace account before joining Scholars, the existing account may be linked to your profile instead of creating a duplicate. Once linked, it appears in the *Account* tab like any other workspace account.

### Sign-in details for a new account

When Scholars creates a new workspace account for you, it emails your personal email address with:

* your workspace email address,
* a temporary password,
* a link to sign in.

After signing in, you may be asked to change the temporary password.

Your personal email is also associated with the workspace account, so support teams can identify which Scholars profile the workspace account belongs to.

## Where can I see my workspace email?

Go to [app.scholars.net/talent/profile?tab=account](https://app.scholars.net/talent/profile?tab=account).

If you have a workspace account, the *Account* tab shows the workspace email address. If no workspace account has been created for you yet, the tab says that you do not have one.

## How do I reset my workspace password?

From the *Account* tab, click *Reset workspace password*.

Scholars will generate a new temporary password and email it to your personal email address.

## Frequently asked questions

<details>

<summary>I have a workspace account, but I did not receive the email with my temporary password. What should I do?</summary>

Go to [app.scholars.net/talent/profile?tab=account](https://app.scholars.net/talent/profile?tab=account) and click *Reset workspace password*.

Scholars will send a new temporary password to your personal email address. If you do not see the email after a few minutes, check your spam or junk folder.

## What happens when my work ends?

Workspace accounts are connected to active work on Scholars. If you no longer have an active contract that needs a workspace account, the workspace account may be suspended.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.scholars.net/how-to/use-your-workspace-account.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
