DataWorks:Adjust the displayed DataStudio modules

Last Updated:Mar 25, 2026

DataStudio displays different modules by default based on the roles assigned to your account. This topic explains how workspace administrators assign roles to users, which modules each role sees by default, and how any user can customize the modules displayed in the left-side navigation pane.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that you have:

  • A DataWorks workspace

How roles control module visibility

Each user is assigned one or more built-in roles in a DataWorks workspace. The assigned roles determine which modules appear by default in the left-side navigation pane of DataStudio. After accessing DataStudio, users can further adjust which modules are visible.

Assign roles to users

DataWorks provides nine built-in workspace roles: Workspace Owner, Workspace Administrator, Data Analyst, Develop, O&M, Deploy, Visitor, Security Administrator, and Model Designer.

Default modules by role

The following table lists the modules that appear in the left-side navigation pane of DataStudio when a user first accesses the page, based on their assigned role.

RoleDefault modules
Workspace Administrator, Workspace Owner, Security Administrator, Model Designer, Develop, O&MScheduled Workflow, Manually Triggered Workflows, Workspace Tables, Ad Hoc Query, Runtime Logs, Recycle bin, Deploy, Operation Center
Data AnalystAd Hoc Query, Tenant Tables, Runtime Logs, Recycle bin
VisitorScheduled Workflow, Manually Triggered Workflows, Ad Hoc Query
The Security Administrator, Model Designer, and O&M roles have read-only permissions on DataStudio objects. For a full breakdown of permissions per role, see Permissions of built-in workspace-level roles.

Adjust displayed modules

After accessing DataStudio, you can adjust which modules appear in the left-side navigation pane from the Personal Settings page.

  1. Log on to the DataWorks console. In the top navigation bar, select the desired region. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Data Development and Governance > Data Development. On the page that appears, select the desired workspace from the drop-down list and click Go to Data Development.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane of the DataStudio page, click the Settings icon to go to the Settings page. In the DataStudio Modules section of the Personal Settings tab, select the modules you want to display in the left-side navigation pane. For more information, see Personal settings.
