# First Time Usage

When entering DCE 5.0 AI Lab for the first time, you need to:

- [Choose a Workspace](#select-a-workspace)
- [Select a Cluster](#select-cluster)
- [Confirm your Role](#roles)

## Select a Workspace

When first entering DCE 5.0 AI Lab, you should select a [workspace](../../ghippo/user-guide/workspace/workspace.md).

![Choose a Workspac](../images/workspace.png)

If you need to change the current workspace, you can click the change icon in the left sidebar to select a different workspace.

!!! note

    If no available workspaces to choose from, you need to contact an administrator to create a workspace.

## Select Cluster

You can choose which cluster to deploy and execute AI Lab operations.

![Select Cluster](../images/cluster.png)

If the cluster you want is not in the cluster list, you need to bind the cluster and namespace first.

1. Click the icon in the upper left corner to open the navigation bar, then click **Global Management** -> **Workspace and Folder**.

## Roles

DCE 5.0 AI Lab provides two roles. You can switch between the two administrator roles by clicking the menu item at the bottom left:

- Administrator - Developer: With capabilities of Notebooks, training tasks, and datasets.
- Platform Administrator - Operator: With capabilities of managing GPU resources and queues.

Each role has an overview page that displays the current data that can be processed through graphical dashboards.
