J. Scott Miller ce769680ba feat(site): hide workspace resources when lacking workspace-create permission (#27278)
Context: experiment `minimum-implicit-member ` added the ability to set
the default member-roles at a per-organization level. This, along with
the related PR stacked listed below, will be used to enable "gateway
accounts", which are accounts that are entitled to use the AI Gateway
but not create or use workspaces. The Workspaces tab is intentionally
left visible for now.

Hides the "New workspace" button and the empty-state creation CTA on the
Workspaces page for users who cannot create a workspace in any
organization, and guards the creation page itself.

Adds a shared `createWorkspace` authorization check (`workspace`
resource, `create` action, `owner_id: me`, `any_org: true`) to
`site/permissions.json` and threads the result through
`WorkspacesPageView`, `WorkspacesTable`, and `WorkspacesEmpty`. Users
without the permission see an empty state explaining they don't have
permission to create workspaces instead of a dead-end CTA. The create
CTAs on the Templates pages were already gated by per-organization
checks; this brings the Workspaces page in line.

`CreateWorkspacePage` is also gated: it adds an org-scoped
`createWorkspaceForUserID` check to its existing authorization batch and
wraps the view in `RequirePermission`, so a direct URL shows the
standard denial dialog instead of a form that 403s on submit. Users who
can create workspaces for others (`createWorkspaceForAny`) still see the
form.

To see this behavior, enable the experiment. As an admin, visit
Organization -> Roles, and remove "Organization Workspace Access" from
the default roles. Login as a user that is not granted workspace access
via a member role.

Storybook coverage: `CannotCreateWorkspace` (empty state + hidden
button), `CannotCreateWorkspaceWithWorkspaces` (button hidden while the
table renders), `CannotCreateWorkspaceWithFilter` (pins the filter empty
state's priority over the no-permission one), and `PermissionDenied` for
the CreateWorkspacePage gate. The Go SSR permissions test also asserts
the new `createWorkspace` entry.

## Stack

This PR is independent but related to the gateway-accounts stack:

1. **#27279**: permission-based license seat counting. Behind the
`permission-based-licensing` experiment and gated on the AI Governance
add-on, `user_limit` counts only users the RBAC engine authorizes to
create workspaces.
2. **#27280**: adds the `organization-ai-gateway-access` org role
carrying the AI Bridge interception permissions (extracted from the
member floors, backfilled into org default roles by migration) and
enforces it at AI Gateway authentication; bridge usage stops claiming AI
Governance seats under the experiment.
3. ~~**#27281**: gates workspace ACL grants on matching member-level
capability (each granted action only takes effect while the recipient
holds that action in the org), so workspace sharing is ineffective for
(and rejected toward) users without workspace capabilities, evaluated
live on every authorization.~~ Tabled - excluded from the
gateway-accounts MVP.

This PR (#27278) stands alone: it hides the Workspaces page create CTAs
for users without workspace-create permission and can merge in any
order.

Coder is a self-hosted platform for cloud development environments and AI coding agents. Workspaces are defined with Terraform, connected through a secure Wireguard® tunnel, and automatically shut down when not used. Coder Agents runs a native AI coding agent whose loop executes in the control plane on your infrastructure, with no API keys in workspaces.

  • Define cloud development environments in Terraform
    • EC2 VMs, Kubernetes Pods, Docker Containers, etc.
  • Automatically shutdown idle resources to save on costs
  • Onboard developers in seconds instead of days
  • Delegate coding work to AI agents on your infrastructure
    • Bring any model (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Bedrock, self-hosted)
    • No LLM credentials in workspaces, user identity on every action
    • Centralized model governance, cost tracking, and audit logging

Coder platform showing templates and a running workspace

Quickstart

The most convenient way to try Coder is to install it on your local machine and experiment with provisioning cloud development environments using Docker (works on Linux, macOS, and Windows).

# First, install Coder
curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh

# Start the Coder server (caches data in ~/.cache/coder)
coder server

# Navigate to http://localhost:3000 to create your initial user,
# create a Docker template and provision a workspace

Install

The easiest way to install Coder is to use the install script for Linux and macOS. For Windows, use the latest ..._installer.exe file from GitHub Releases.

curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh

You can run the install script with --dry-run to see the commands that will be used to install without executing them. Run the install script with --help for additional flags.

See install for additional methods.

Once installed, you can start a production deployment with a single command:

# Automatically sets up an external access URL on *.try.coder.app
coder server

# Requires a PostgreSQL instance (version 13 or higher) and external access URL
coder server --postgres-url <url> --access-url <url>

Use coder --help to get a list of flags and environment variables. See the install guides for a complete tutorial.
