Problem

Image

When a default user logs in but is not added to any workspaces, they only see the onboarding text. This creates confusion because:
• There’s no clear indication that they lack workspace access.
• Users don’t know what steps to take next.
• It may appear as though the app is broken or incomplete.

Expected Behavior

If a user has no workspace access, the interface should clearly communicate this and provide guidance.

Suggested Solution

• Display a dedicated message (e.g., “You are not currently added to any workspaces. Please contact your admin or manager to be granted access.”)
• Optionally provide a button or link for users to request access (if applicable).

Why This Matters

Improves the onboarding and user experience for new or default users by:
• Reducing confusion and frustration.
• Preventing unnecessary support requests.
• Making the system’s state and next steps clear.

Hello! @angelplusultra
fixed it by adding a clear message that tells users they need workspace access and how to contact their admin - no more confusing onboarding text for users without permissions
let me know
