Manage Private Locations

As an Account Admin, you can manage all the Private Locations in your BlazeMeter account. Viewing all your Private Locations in one place allows you to optimize the use of your resources, by sharing and unsharing Private Locations across Workspaces. Additionally, you can permanently delete Private Locations within your account.

To view the details of private locations in your account, navigate to Settings > Account > Locations Manager > Private Locations.

All the existing shared Workspaces will be marked in the table as Shared. In addition, the calculation of n includes all Workspaces that will be shared. If a Workspace is already shared, it cannot be selected but it will be included in the total number of shared workspaces (n).

    • Click the X icon next to a Workspace name:
