    Last Updated:Jan 13, 2026

    Applications can call APIs in the production environments of different service projects. This topic describes how to create and manage your applications.

    Permission description

    • Regular members can request to create and manage their applications. An application is created only after the request is approved.

    • Application owners can manage their applications and application members, and reset the AppSecret.

    Access the My Applications page

    You can access the My Applications page in two ways.

    Method 1:

    1. In the top menu bar of the Dataphin home page, choose Service > Application Management.

    2. In the navigation pane on the left, click My Applications.

    Method 2:

    1. In the upper-right corner of the Dataphin console, click your profile picture to open the User Center, and then click Personal Data Center.

    2. In the navigation pane on the left, click My Applications. You are redirected to the My Applications page, located under Service > Application Management.

    Request to create an application

    1. On the My Applications page, click + Request to Create Application in the upper-right corner.

    2. In the Request to Create Application dialog box, configure the parameters.

      Parameter

      Description

      Application Name

      Input the application name adhering to the following naming convention:

      • Can contain Chinese characters, letters, numbers, and underscores (_).

      • Must start with a Chinese character or a letter.

      • Must be 4 to 26 characters in length.

      • Must be unique within the application group.

      Application Group

      Select an existing application group. You can search for application groups by keyword.

      Scenario

      Enter the use case for the application. This helps business personnel understand the application. The description cannot exceed 128 characters.

      Application Owner

      Select the owners for the application. The owners are responsible for routine management, such as editing or deleting the application, adding or deleting application members, and resetting the AppSecret. You can select multiple members who have been added to Dataphin on the Member Management page in the Management Hub.

      Custom Key

      This parameter is available when the network is configured as Alibaba Cloud API Gateway (shared/dedicated instance) or a built-in gateway.

      Use this to unify the keys for Dataphin applications and applications in third-party API management systems. This feature is disabled by default. When disabled, the system automatically generates a key. If you enable this feature, you must configure the AppKey and AppSecret.

      AppKey/AppSecret: Enter the AppKey and AppSecret. They can contain letters, numbers, underscores (_), and hyphens (-). The length must be between 8 and 127 characters.

      IP Whitelist-based Invocation

      This parameter is available only when the network is configured as a built-in gateway. This feature is disabled by default. If you enable this feature, you must specify IP addresses.

      IP Address

      Enter IP addresses based on the network architecture. You can enter IP addresses or Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) blocks. Separate multiple entries with semicolons (;). Each IP address must be unique. You can enter a maximum of 100 entries. If you use a CIDR block, append a forward slash (/) and a number from 1 to 32 to the end of the IP address. Example: 192.168.3.12/24.

      Note

      Enter the local IP address of the server first. If you call an API from an IP address that is not in the whitelist, the system prompts you to add the IP address.

    3. Click OK to submit the request for approval. Once approved, the application is created and appears on the Application Management page under Service > Application Management.

    Manage my applications

    1. On the My Applications page, you can view the My and Not Joined application lists.

      • My: Displays the applications for which you are an owner. You can edit the application, manage its members, or delete it.

      • Not Joined: Displays the applications for which you are not an owner. You can request to join an application or view your join requests.

    2. You can search for applications by name or AppKey, or filter applications by group.

      My applications

      This list shows the application name, application group, owner, number of authorized APIs, number of authorized data sources, AppKey, AppSecret, last update time, your role, and renewal or expiration date. You can also perform the following operations on an application in the list.

      Area

      Description

      AppSecret

      You can display, hide, copy, or reset the AppSecret.

      Reset: When the network is configured as Alibaba Cloud API Gateway (shared/dedicated instance) or a built-in gateway, click Reset. In the Reset Key dialog box, reset the AppKey password. You can choose to automatically generate a new password or create a custom one. Click OK to complete the reset.

      • Auto-generate: The system automatically generates a new password.

      • Custom: Enter a new password. The format must follow the same rules as when you create a new application.

      Important

      Be aware that resetting the AppSecret will disrupt the current application SDK. Coordinate with relevant personnel immediately to prevent business operation issues.
