When a home space is assigned to a user, this becomes marked as **My
Space** for that user in the lab notebook, as shown below.

When users are registered via the ELN UI, a *Space* with their username
is created (see [User
Registration)](https://openbis.ch/index.php/docs/admin-documentation/user-registration/)
and this is automatically set as home space for the user.
The same happens in multi-group instances where spaces are created for
each user in the lab notebook section.
An *instance admin* can change the home space of a user or assign one to
a user that does not have a home space assigned from the admin UI, as
shown below.

Please note that when a user is inactivated, the home space assigned to
that user is moved in the ELN UI to the folder **Others (disabled).** If
this is not desired, the space should be removed as home space from the
inactivated user. This can be done by an *instance admin*.
