Does Airbyte OSS have a workspace or user management component? e.g. lets say I want to add users to manage or create connections, sources, etc. -- is this doable with the OSS version or only available on Cloud?

Airbyte Open Source Software (OSS) does have a workspace feature, but it's not fully supported and might have some bugs. The workspace feature is not available in the UI, and you need to manage them using the API. You can create a workspace through this [endpoint](https://airbyte-public-api-docs.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/rapidoc-api-docs.html#post-/v1/workspaces/create). Then you can switch to different workspaces by editing the URL, changing the workspace id that comes right after
/workspaces/
[source](https://discuss.airbyte.io/t/2492). However, it's important to note that user management is not currently supported in the OSS version of Airbyte. Airbyte Cloud does support user management, but it doesn't support role-based access control (RBAC) yet [source](https://docs.airbyte.com/operator-guides/security). There are ongoing discussions and plans for implementing user management and SSO login support, specifically via Okta, but these are primarily targeted at Airbyte Cloud [source](https://airbytehq.slack.com/archives/C021JANJ6TY/p1665605453570759). In summary, while you can create and manage workspaces in Airbyte OSS, user management is not currently supported. If you need user management, you may want to consider using Airbyte Cloud.
