An Agent or Workspace Administrator can belong to multiple
workspaces. You
can add a user to a new workspace from the Add
Agent User page for that workspace. System Administrators are
automatically members of all BMC FootPrints Service Core workspaces. Adding
an Agent to multiple workspaces does not affect the number of licenses available.
That is, an Agent who is a member of multiple workspaces still only uses
one individual license.
