DataWorks:Configure a workspace

1. Open the DataWorks workspace page. In the top menu bar, select your region.

2. Find the workspace and click Details in the Operation column.

   Click Manage to go to the Setting Center, where the same settings are available.

   

General settings

1. In the General Configurations section, view and modify workspace properties.

   Workspace identity

   Parameter	Description
   Workspace ID	Unique identifier assigned at creation. Cannot be changed.
   Workspace Name	Internal name of the workspace.
   Display Name	Human-readable name shown in the console. Editable by accounts with the Workspace Administrator role.
   Description	Free-text description of the workspace. Editable by accounts with the Workspace Administrator role.
   Owner	The Alibaba Cloud account that owns the workspace. The owner can disable or delete the workspace. Cannot be changed.

   Workspace status

   The Status field shows the current state of the workspace:

   Status	Description
   Normal	Running as expected.
   Disabled	Manually disabled by the owner.
   Overdue	Suspended because of overdue payments.
   Initialization Failed	The workspace failed to be created. Try creating it again.

   For any unexpected status, contact technical support.

   Workspace mode

   When you create a workspace, enabling Isolate Development and Production Environments sets the workspace to Standard Mode. Otherwise, it uses Basic Mode.

   Scenario	Upgrade path
   Basic Mode workspace without the new Data Studio feature	Can be upgraded to Standard Mode. The upgrade option is visible only to the Alibaba Cloud account. For details, see Upgrade a workspace mode.
   Workspace with the new Data Studio feature enabled	Cannot be upgraded at this time. Contact technical support if you need to upgrade.

   Schedule PAI nodes

   To schedule PAI algorithm tasks in Data Studio, enable Schedule PAI Nodes. Once enabled, this setting cannot be turned off.

   If you selected Create AI Workspace with Same Name when you created the workspace, this option is already enabled.

2. (Optional) In the General Configurations > Individual Development Environment section, configure the automatic shutdown policy for instances in the current workspace.

   Important

   This feature is available only in certain regions. Check the DataWorks console to confirm availability.

   For workspaces with the new Data Studio feature enabled, configure an automatic shutdown policy. The system automatically shuts down any running personal development environment instance that meets the policy criteria. For configuration details, see Set a workspace-level automatic shutdown policy.

   

3. In the General Configurations > Security Settings, control security-related behaviors for the workspace.

   Setting	Description
   Download SELECT Result	Controls whether users can download data query results during development. When disabled, users cannot download the output of SELECT statements.
   Change Node Owner by RAM User	Controls whether RAM users can reassign ownership of their nodes.
   Sandbox Whitelist	Specifies IP addresses or domain names that Shell tasks can access when running on a shared resource group. Enter public IP addresses or domain names only. Important For internal services, use an exclusive resource group to ensure network connectivity instead of adding addresses to the sandbox whitelist. For more information, see DataWorks resource groups.

Data sources and compute engines

DataWorks integrates with multiple compute engines -- MaxCompute, E-MapReduce, and Realtime Compute for Apache Flink -- and supports running compute tasks on MaxCompute, Hologres, AnalyticDB for PostgreSQL, AnalyticDB for MySQL, and ClickHouse. It also supports data synchronization between different engines.

• To run data synchronization tasks, create a data source in the workspace.

• To run scheduled tasks, associate a compute engine with the workspace.

Members and roles

In the Workspace Members and Workspace Roles sections, manage who can access the workspace and what they can do.

1. Add workspace members: When you add a RAM user to a workspace, assign them a workspace role. The user gains the permissions associated with that role. For details, see Add workspace members and manage member role permissions.

   Note

   DataWorks supports both preset and custom workspace-level roles. Custom roles must be defined by a Workspace Administrator in the Workspace Roles section. Different roles grant different permissions for workspace modules. For more information, see Workspace-level module permission control.

2. Manage roles: View preset and custom roles in the Workspace Roles section. If preset roles do not meet your needs, create custom roles. Configure role permissions for DataWorks workspace modules and set up permission mappings to MaxCompute project roles. For details, see Workspace-level module permission control.

   Note

   Only an Alibaba Cloud account or a RAM user with the Admin or Super_Administrator role for the MaxCompute project can configure permission mappings.

3. View permissions: On the Permissions tab, view the specific feature permissions for each preset workspace role. For details, see Appendix: List of permissions for preset roles (workspace level).
