# Create an EMR Studio Workspace
<a name="emr-studio-create-workspace"></a>

You can create EMR Studio Workspaces to run notebook code using the EMR Studio interface. 

**To create a Workspace in an EMR Studio**

1. Log in to your EMR Studio.

1. Choose **Create a Workspace**.

1. Enter a **Workspace name** and a **Description**. Naming a Workspace helps you identify it on the **Workspaces** page.

1. If you want to work with other Studio users in this Workspace in real time, enable Workspace collaboration. You can configure collaborators after you launch the Workspace.

1. If you want to attach a cluster to a Workspace, expand the **Advanced configuration** section. You can attach a cluster later, if you prefer. For more information, see [Attach a compute to an EMR Studio Workspace](emr-studio-create-use-clusters.md).
**Note**  
To provision a new cluster, you need access permissions from your administrator. 

   Choose one of the cluster options for the Workspace and attach the cluster. For more information about provisioning a cluster when you create a Workspace, see [Create and attach a new EMR cluster to an EMR Studio Workspace](emr-studio-create-use-clusters.md#emr-studio-create-cluster).

1. Choose **Create a Workspace** in the lower right of the page. 

After you create a Workspace, EMR Studio will open the **Workspaces** page. You will see a green success banner at the top of the page and can find the newly-created Workspace in the list.

By default, a Workspace is shared and can be seen by all Studio users. However, only one user can open and work in a Workspace at a time. To work simultaneously with other users, you can [Configure Workspace collaboration in EMR Studio](emr-studio-workspace-collaboration.md)
