The Team Workspace API provides team account context for pages under `/home/[account]`. It loads team data, the user's role and permissions, subscription status, and all accounts the user belongs to, making this information available to both server and client components.

{% /sequence %}

## loadTeamWorkspace (Server)

Loads the team workspace data for the specified team account. Use this in Server Components within the `/home/[account]` route group.

```tsx
import { loadTeamWorkspace } from '~/home/[account]/_lib/server/team-account-workspace.loader';

export default async function TeamDashboard({
  params,
}: {
  params: { account: string };
}) {
  const data = await loadTeamWorkspace();

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>{data.account.name}</h1>
      <p>Your role: {data.account.role}</p>
    </div>
  );
}
```

### Function signature

```tsx
async function loadTeamWorkspace(): Promise<TeamWorkspaceData>
```

### How it works

The loader reads the `account` parameter from the URL (the team slug) and fetches:

1. Team account details from the database
2. Current user's role and permissions in this team
3. All accounts the user belongs to (for the account switcher)

### Caching behavior

The function uses React's `cache()` to deduplicate calls within a single request. You can call it multiple times in nested components without additional database queries.

```tsx
// Both calls use the same cached data
const layout = await loadTeamWorkspace();  // First call: hits database
const page = await loadTeamWorkspace();    // Second call: returns cached data
```

{% callout title="Performance consideration" %}
While calls are deduplicated within a request, the data is fetched on every navigation. For frequently accessed data, the caching prevents redundant queries within a single page render.
{% /callout %}

## useTeamAccountWorkspace (Client)

Access the team workspace data in client components using the `useTeamAccountWorkspace` hook. The data is provided through React Context from the layout.

```tsx
'use client';

import { useTeamAccountWorkspace } from '@kit/team-accounts/hooks/use-team-account-workspace';

export function TeamHeader() {
  const { account, user, accounts } = useTeamAccountWorkspace();

  return (
    <header className="flex items-center justify-between p-4">
      <div className="flex items-center gap-3">
        {account.picture_url && (
          <img
            src={account.picture_url}
            alt={account.name}
            className="h-8 w-8 rounded"
          />
        )}
        <div>
          <h1 className="font-semibold">{account.name}</h1>
          <p className="text-xs text-muted-foreground">
            {account.role} · {account.subscription_status || 'Free'}
          </p>
        </div>
      </div>
    </header>
  );
}
```

{% callout type="warning" title="Context requirement" %}
The `useTeamAccountWorkspace` hook only works within the `/home/[account]` route group where the context provider is set up. Using it outside this layout will throw an error.
{% /callout %}

## Data structure

### TeamWorkspaceData

```tsx
import type { User } from '@supabase/supabase-js';

interface TeamWorkspaceData {
  account: {
    id: string;
    name: string;
    slug: string;
    picture_url: string | null;
    role: string;
    role_hierarchy_level: number;
    primary_owner_user_id: string;
    subscription_status: SubscriptionStatus | null;
    permissions: string[];
  };

  user: User;

  accounts: Array<{
    id: string | null;
    name: string | null;
    picture_url: string | null;
    role: string | null;
    slug: string | null;
  }>;
}
```

### account.role

The user's role in this team. Default roles:

| Role | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `owner` | Full access, can delete team |
| `admin` | Manage members and settings |
| `member` | Standard access |

### account.role_hierarchy_level

A numeric value where lower numbers indicate higher privilege. Use this for role comparisons:

```tsx
const { account } = useTeamAccountWorkspace();

// Check if user can manage someone with role_level 2
const canManage = account.role_hierarchy_level < 2;
```

### account.permissions

An array of permission strings the user has in this team:

```tsx
[
  'billing.manage',
  'members.invite',
  'members.remove',
  'members.manage',
  'settings.manage',
]
```

### subscription_status values

| Status | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `active` | Active subscription |
| `trialing` | In trial period |
| `past_due` | Payment failed, grace period |
| `canceled` | Subscription canceled |
| `unpaid` | Payment required |
| `incomplete` | Setup incomplete |
| `incomplete_expired` | Setup expired |
| `paused` | Subscription paused |

## Usage patterns

### Permission-based rendering

```tsx
'use client';

import { useTeamAccountWorkspace } from '@kit/team-accounts/hooks/use-team-account-workspace';

interface PermissionGateProps {
  children: React.ReactNode;
  permission: string;
  fallback?: React.ReactNode;
}

export function PermissionGate({
  children,
  permission,
  fallback = null,
}: PermissionGateProps) {
  const { account } = useTeamAccountWorkspace();

  if (!account.permissions.includes(permission)) {
    return <>{fallback}</>;
  }

  return <>{children}</>;
}

// Usage
function TeamSettingsPage() {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Team Settings</h1>

      <PermissionGate
        permission="settings.manage"
        fallback={<p>You don't have permission to manage settings.</p>}
      >
        <SettingsForm />
      </PermissionGate>

      <PermissionGate permission="billing.manage">
        <BillingSection />
      </PermissionGate>
    </div>
  );
}
```

### Team dashboard with role checks

```tsx
import { loadTeamWorkspace } from '~/home/[account]/_lib/server/team-account-workspace.loader';
import { getSupabaseServerClient } from '@kit/supabase/server-client';

export default async function TeamDashboardPage() {
  const { account, user } = await loadTeamWorkspace();
  const client = getSupabaseServerClient();

  const isOwner = account.primary_owner_user_id === user.id;
  const isAdmin = account.role === 'admin' || account.role === 'owner';

  // Fetch team-specific data
  const { data: projects } = await client
    .from('projects')
    .select('*')
    .eq('account_id', account.id)
    .order('created_at', { ascending: false })
    .limit(10);

  return (
    <div className="space-y-6">
      <header className="flex items-center justify-between">
        <div>
          <h1 className="text-2xl font-bold">{account.name}</h1>
          <p className="text-muted-foreground">
            {account.subscription_status === 'active'
              ? 'Pro Plan'
              : 'Free Plan'}
          </p>
        </div>

        {isAdmin && (
          <a
            href={`/home/${account.slug}/settings`}
            className="btn btn-secondary"
          >
            Team Settings
          </a>
        )}
      </header>

      <section>
        <h2 className="text-lg font-medium">Recent Projects</h2>
        <ul className="mt-2 space-y-2">
          {projects?.map((project) => (
            <li key={project.id}>
              <a href={`/home/${account.slug}/projects/${project.id}`}>
                {project.name}
              </a>
            </li>
          ))}
        </ul>
      </section>

      {isOwner && (
        <section className="rounded-lg border border-destructive/20 bg-destructive/5 p-4">
          <h2 className="font-medium text-destructive">Danger Zone</h2>
          <p className="mt-1 text-sm text-muted-foreground">
            Only the team owner can delete this team.
          </p>
          <button className="mt-3 btn btn-destructive">Delete Team</button>

  const hasActiveSubscription =
    account.subscription_status === 'active' ||
    account.subscription_status === 'trialing';

  if (!hasActiveSubscription) {
    return (
      <div className="rounded-lg border-2 border-dashed p-6 text-center">
