# namespaces get-default

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Deprecated:** This command is deprecated. Use [namespaces get-active --id](/products/command-line-interface/reference/workbench/namespaces-get-active.md) instead.
{% endhint %}

## Synopsis

```shell
omics workbench namespaces get-default
```

## Description

Get the default namespace of a user. The namespace can be used with all workbench commands via the `-n` flag. The default namespace is the namespace that is used when the `-n` flag is not provided and it is the namespace provided when the user first logs in to the Workbench UI.

This command has been replaced by [namespaces get-active](/products/command-line-interface/reference/workbench/namespaces-get-active.md), which returns the full namespace details as JSON. To get only the namespace ID (matching the behavior of this command), use `namespaces get-active --id`.
