Concept | Workspaces#

Workspaces bring together everything you need for certain work initiatives to support clearer focus and more efficient workflows.

In Dataiku, this means that you can create a centralized collections of Dataiku or external resources that can be shared with a team of people for quick access.

Accessing workspaces#

You can find workspaces from the Applications menu in Dataiku. You’ll be able to see all of the workspaces that you belong to.

Tip

If creating and managing workspaces will be an important part of your role, you have the option of making the Workspaces dashboard your default Dataiku homepage.

To do this, click on your profile icon and go to Profile & Settings. Then, under the Homepage section, switch to the Workspaces radio button and click Save.

Workspace content#

You can easily create and customize workspaces from the workspace page. All workspaces are defined by their title and descriptions. Types of content you can add to your workspace include:

Tip

Flow items can be published to workspaces from directly within the Flow through the Publish action.

If there are many items in your workspace, you can favorite, filter, and search for items to improve findability.

Instance-level permissions#

Recall that group permissions are assigned at the instance level.

For workspaces, instance admins should assign Create workspaces and Publish on workspaces privileges to the appropriate groups of users. These two permissions are accessible under Administration > Security > Groups.

Note

Instance admins can access and administer all projects and workspaces.

Project-level permissions#

At the project level, the project admin controls the scope of access they grant to their project to any Dataiku user. Project admins should grant Publish on workspaces privileges to designated users to let them share objects in workspaces.

Workspace-level permissions#

Workspace-level permissions are defined by the workspace administrators. Different permissions can be assigned to either users or groups in the workspace.

Role	Description
Admin	Can add/remove users and assign roles.
Contributor	Can contribute or remove content from projects into a workspace. They’ll need Publish on workspaces instance and project privileges to fully exercise their role.
Member	Has view access to whatever content has been shared into a workspace. They don’t have access to the originating projects unless granted separately by the project admin.
