Systems and methods for managing workspace capabilities

An Information Handling System (IHS) comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution, cause the processor to:
• issue a request to a remote orchestrator for access to a protected resource by a user of the IHS;
• report, to the remote orchestrator, a security context and a productivity context for operation of a primary workspace on the IHS;
• receive a primary workspace definition from a remote orchestrator, wherein the primary workspace definition specifies two or more applications for operation within the primary workspace, and wherein the two or more applications comprise overlapping capabilities and are selected by the remote orchestrator for providing access to the protected resource based on the reported security context and the productivity context;
• and
• instantiate the primary workspace on the IHS based on the received primary workspace definition.

• identify two or more applications for operation within the primary workspace, wherein the two or more applications provide access to the protected resource, and wherein the two or more applications comprise overlapping capabilities.
