DataWorks:Configure a workspace

Go to the workspace configuration page

1. Go to the DataWorks Workspaces page and select a region in the top menu bar.

2. Find the target workspace and click Operation in the Details column to open the workspace details page.

   You can also click Manage to go to the management center. You can view and manage the workspace from either page.

   Click Workspace in the left-side menu and select a region to view the workspace list. The Actions column provides Details, Manage, Quick Entry, and a drop-down menu with Create Data Source, Bind Compute Resource, Delete Workspace, and Disable Workspace.

Configure basic information

1. In the General Configurations > General section, view and configure the basic information of the workspace.

   Parameter	Description
   Workspace ID	Unique workspace identifier. Cannot be modified after creation.
   Workspace Name
   Status	Current workspace status. You can manually disable a workspace. Normal: Running as expected. Disabled: Manually disabled. Overdue: Frozen due to overdue payment. Other statuses: Contact technical support if an unexpected status appears. If a workspace fails to be created, its status changes to Initialization Failed. You can try to create the workspace again.
   Display Name	Display name and description for the workspace. Accounts with the Workspace Administrator role can modify these fields.
   Description
   Mode	If you enable Isolate Development and Production Environments during workspace creation, the workspace uses Standard Mode. Otherwise, it uses Basic Mode. Important A workspace in Basic Mode without the new data development feature can be upgraded to Standard Mode. Only the Alibaba Cloud account can see the upgrade option. Workspaces with the new data development feature enabled cannot be upgraded — contact technical support if needed. Upgrade a workspace mode.
   Owner	Workspace owner, with permissions to delete or disable the workspace. Cannot be modified.
   Schedule PAI Nodes	Required for scheduling PAI algorithm tasks. Once enabled, this option cannot be disabled. If you select Create AI Workspace with Same Name when you create the workspace, this option is enabled by default. If you did not select Create AI Workspace with Same Name when you created the workspace, you can enable the Schedule PAI Nodes switch here. After it is enabled, you can schedule PAI algorithm tasks in DataStudio without recreating the workspace. This switch invokes the same backend capability as the option on the creation page (attaching the PAI module to the current workspace).

2. (Optional) In the General Configurations > Individual Development Environment section, configure the auto-shutdown policy for individual development environment instances.

   Important

   This feature is available only in some regions. Availability is subject to the console page.

   Available only for workspaces with the new data development feature enabled. Running instances that meet the auto-shutdown conditions are shut down automatically. Set a workspace-level auto-shutdown policy.

   The policy combines conditions with AND logic — Idle Time, CPU utilization, and GPU utilization. Click + Add to include more conditions.

3. In the General Configurations > Security Settings section, configure workspace security settings.

   Parameter	Description
   Download SELECT Result	Controls whether users can download query results. When disabled, SELECT statement results cannot be downloaded.
   Change Node Owner by RAM User	Controls whether RAM users can change the owners of their own nodes.
   Sandbox whitelist (IP addresses or domain names that Shell tasks can access)	IP addresses or domain names that Shell tasks can access on a shared resource group. Important Enter accessible public IP addresses or domain names. For internal services, use an exclusive resource group for network reachability. DataWorks resource groups.

Data sources and compute resources

DataWorks supports compute engines such as MaxCompute, E-MapReduce, and Realtime Compute for Apache Flink, with data synchronization between them. You can run tasks on compute resources including MaxCompute, Hologres, AnalyticDB for PostgreSQL, AnalyticDB for MySQL, and ClickHouse, and manage data in their respective data sources.

• To run data synchronization tasks, you must create the corresponding data source in the workspace.

• To run scheduled tasks, you must bind the corresponding compute resource in the workspace.

Configure workspace members and roles

In the Workspace Members section, add, modify, or remove members and assign roles. In the Workspace Roles section, manage roles for the workspace.

1. Add workspace members: Assign a role when adding a RAM user. The user gains the permissions of that role. Add workspace members and manage member role permissions.

   Note

   RAM users can be granted preset or custom workspace-level roles. Custom roles are defined by a workspace administrator in the Workspace Roles section. Each role has different module permissions. Workspace-level module permission control.

2. Manage member roles: View and create preset or custom roles. Configure module permissions and MaxCompute project role mappings. Workspace-level module permission control.

   Note

   Only the Alibaba Cloud account or a RAM user assigned the Admin or Super_Administrator role of the MaxCompute project can configure permission mappings.

3. View the permission list: The Permissions tab shows feature permissions for each preset role. Appendix: List of permissions for preset roles (workspace level).
