DataWorks:Configure a workspace

Go to the workspace configuration page

1. Go to the DataWorks workspace page. From the top menu bar, select your region.

2. Find the target workspace and click Details in the Actions column.

   You can also click the Manage button to go to the Management Center. You can view and manage settings from either page.

   

Configure basic information

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

   Parameter	Description
   Workspace ID	The unique identifier for the workspace. This cannot be modified after creation.
   Workspace Name
   Status	The status of the workspace. You can manually disable a workspace. Normal: The workspace is running correctly. Disabled: The workspace has been manually disabled. Overdue: The workspace has been suspended due to overdue payments. Other statuses: If you encounter an unexpected status, contact technical support. If a workspace fails to be created, its status will be Initialization Failed. You can try creating the workspace again.
   Display Name	The display name and description used to identify the workspace. Accounts with the Workspace Administrator role can modify this.
   Description
   Mode	When you create a workspace, if you enable Isolate Development and Production Environments, the workspace uses Standard Mode. Otherwise, it uses Basic Mode. Important A Basic Mode workspace where the new Data Studio feature is not enabled can be upgraded to Standard Mode. The upgrade option is visible only to the Alibaba Cloud account. Workspaces with the new Data Studio feature enabled cannot be upgraded at this time. If you need to upgrade, contact technical support. For more information, see Upgrade a workspace mode.
   Owner	The owner of the current workspace. The owner can delete or disable the workspace. This cannot be modified.
   Schedule PAI Nodes	To schedule PAI algorithm tasks in Data Studio, you must enable this switch. Once enabled, it cannot be disabled. If you select Create AI Workspace with Same Name when you create the workspace, this option is enabled by default.

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 some regions. Check the console to confirm its availability in your region.

   You can configure this option only for workspaces where the new Data Studio feature is enabled. The system automatically shuts down any running personal development environment instance that meets the criteria of this policy. For more configuration details, see Set a workspace-level automatic shutdown policy.

   

3. In the General Configurations > Security Settings section, you can control basic security operations for the workspace.

   Parameter	Description
   Download SELECT Result	Specifies whether users can download data query results during development. If disabled, users cannot download the results of SELECT statements.
   Change Node Owner by RAM User	Specifies whether RAM users can change the owners of their nodes.
   Sandbox Whitelist (The whitelist contains IP addresses or domain names that can be accessed by Shell tasks.)	Specifies the IP addresses or domain names that a Shell task can directly access when it runs on a shared resource group. Important You must enter public IP addresses or domain names. For internal services, we recommend using an exclusive resource group to ensure network connectivity. For more information, see DataWorks resource groups.

Add a data source or associate a compute engine

DataWorks supports adding various types of compute engines, such as MaxCompute, E-MapReduce, and Realtime Compute for Apache Flink. It also supports data synchronization between different compute engines. In addition, you can run compute tasks on MaxCompute, Hologres, AnalyticDB for PostgreSQL, AnalyticDB for MySQL, and ClickHouse compute resources and manage data stored in data sources within Data Studio.

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

• To run scheduled tasks, you must associate a compute engine in the workspace.

Configure workspace members and roles

In the Workspace Members section, you can add, modify, and delete workspace members and grant roles to them. In the Workspace Roles section, you can view and manage the roles within the current workspace.

1. Add workspace members: When you add a RAM user to the current workspace, you need to assign them a workspace role. The user then gains the permissions associated with that role. For more information about authorization, see Add workspace members and manage member role permissions.

   Note

   DataWorks allows you to grant RAM users custom or preset workspace-level roles. Custom roles must be defined by a Workspace Administrator in the Workspace Roles section. Different roles have different module permissions within the workspace. For more information, see Workspace-level module permission control.

2. Manage member roles: You can view preset or custom roles in the workspace. If preset roles do not meet your business needs, you can create custom roles. You can configure a role's permissions for DataWorks workspace modules and also configure permission mappings to MaxCompute project roles. For more information about managing workspace role permissions, 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 the permission list: On the Permissions tab, you can view the specific feature permissions for each preset workspace role. For more information, see Appendix: List of permissions for preset roles (workspace level).
