    DataWorks:Create and manage user groups

    Last Updated:Jan 18, 2024

    DataWorks provides the User Group Management feature. You can use this feature to add multiple users with same permissions to a user group as needed with ease. When you configure a data de-identification rule, you can add the user group to the whitelist of this rule. This way, the data that is de-identified by using this rule can be displayed in its original form to the users in this user group. This topic describes how to create and manage a user group.

        You can use the following methods to add users to the user group: Add users

        • Method 1: Upload a text file. You can upload a text file that contains user account information to add them to the user group at a time. This method is applicable if you need to add a large number of users to the user group.

        • Method 2: Select existing accounts. You can select existing Alibaba Cloud accounts or RAM users to add them to the user group. This method is applicable if you need to add only a small number of users to the user group.

        Note

        The text file to be uploaded must be a UTF-8-encoded TXT file. Each piece of account information occupies one line. The text file can contain a maximum of 1,000 lines. In other words, a maximum of 1,000 user accounts can be added at a time.

      2. Click OK.

    After the user group is created, you can configure a whitelist for a data de-identification rule by adding the user group to the whitelist. This way, the data that is de-identified by using the data de-identification rule is displayed in its original form to the users in this user group.
