    DataWorks:Configure a user group

    Last Updated:Aug 05, 2024

    DataWorks provides the user group management feature. You can use the feature to add multiple users that have the same permissions to a user group based on your business requirements. When you configure a data masking rule, you can add the user group to the whitelist of the rule. This way, data that is masked by using the rule is displayed in its original form to the users in the user group. This topic describes how to create and manage a user group.

    Create a user group

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

    2. Click the 图标 icon in the upper-left corner, choose All Products > Data Governance > Data Security Guard, and then click Try now to go to the Data Security Guard page.

      Note

      • If your Alibaba Cloud account is granted the required permissions, you can directly access the homepage of Data Security Guard.

      • If your Alibaba Cloud account is not granted the required permissions, you are redirected to the authorization page of Data Security Guard. You can use the features of Data Security Guard only after your Alibaba Cloud account is granted the required permissions.

    3. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Rule Configuration > User Group Management. The User Group Management page appears.

    4. Create a user group.

      1. In the upper-right corner, click Create User Group. In the New User Group dialog box, configure the User Group Name parameter and add users to the user group.

        To add users to the user group, you can use the following methods:添加目标账号

        • Method 1: Upload a text file. You can upload a text file that contains user account information to add users to the user group at a time. This method is suitable for scenarios in which you want to add a large number of users to a user group.

          Note

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

        • Method 2: Select existing accounts. You can select existing Alibaba Cloud accounts, RAM users, RAM roles, or MaxCompute roles to add them to the user group. This method is suitable for scenarios in which you want to add only a small number of users to a user group.

          Note

          For MaxCompute roles, you can only add multiple roles in a MaxCompute project to a user group.

      2. Click OK.

    After the user group is created, you can configure a whitelist for a data masking rule and add the user group to the whitelist. This way, data that is masked by using the data masking rule is displayed in its original form to the users in this user group. For information about how to configure a whitelist for a data masking rule, see Create a data masking rule.
