Instance configuration vs Enterprise workspace features
Some OpnForm settings exist at two levels. The instance-wide configuration is available to self-hosted installations without an Enterprise license. The workspace-level Enterprise feature gives specific workspaces their own dedicated controls.| Area | Community instance-wide configuration | Enterprise workspace feature |
|---|---|---|
Configure the default sender with MAIL_* variables | Configure Workspace Custom SMTP for a specific workspace | |
| Storage | Configure the default filesystem or S3-compatible storage | Use Enterprise external storage controls when available |
| Branding | Use core form customization options | Remove OpnForm branding and use advanced white-label controls |
| Authentication | Use standard login, configured OAuth providers, and OIDC within the 2-user limit | Use SAML/LDAP SSO and add more than 2 users |
Custom domains can also exist at two levels: the domain for your whole
OpnForm instance, and custom domains attached to workspaces or forms. See
Using your own domain for the instance-wide
setup.
