Customize module display in DataStudio

DataStudio's wide range of features and concepts can be overwhelming for new users. To simplify the interface, DataStudio displays a default set of modules based on your assigned role and permissions. You can also customize the navigation pane to show only the modules you need. This topic explains how to assign user roles and customize the module display in DataStudio.

Background information

Before a new user can access DataStudio, you must assign the appropriate role to their account. The assigned role determines a user's permissions and the default modules displayed in DataStudio. Additionally, users can customize the modules shown in the left-side navigation pane to fit their workflow.

To assign roles to a user, see Prerequisites: Assign roles to users.
To view the default modules for each role, see Default modules.
To customize the displayed modules, see Customize displayed modules.

Prerequisites: Assign roles to users

DataWorks provides roles such as Project Owner, Workspace Administrator, Data Analyst, Development, O&M Personnel, Deployment Personnel, Visitor, Security Administrator, and Model Designer. You must grant the relevant roles to users so that they can perform the specific operations supported by each role. The details are as follows:

The permissions vary by role. For more information, see Appendix: List of permissions for built-in workspace-level roles.
The default modules displayed in the left-side navigation pane vary by role. For more information, see Default modules.
To learn how to grant roles to users, see Workspace-level module access control.
