    Data Management:Manage and develop Dify applications

    Last Updated:Nov 18, 2025

    This topic describes how to use Dify in the Data Management (DMS) console. It covers key processes such as workspace management, member collaboration, and large language model (LLM) application development to help you quickly build intelligent applications.

    Prerequisites

    Before you begin, ensure that Dify is deployed. For more information, see One-click deployment of Dify.

    Overview

    1. Go to the workspace: Log on to the DMS console to access the Dify environment.

    2. Add workspace members: Add members to the workspace for collaborative development.

    3. Develop large language model applications: Use Dify to develop LLM applications and accelerate the adoption of enterprise AI.

    Go to the workspace

    1. Log on to the DMS console V5.0.

    2. Move the pointer over the 2023-01-28_15-57-17.png icon in the upper-left corner and choose All Features > Data+AI > Dify.

      Note

      If you use the DMS console in normal mode, choose Data+AI > Dify in the top navigation bar.

    3. In the navigation pane on the left, click Workspace. On the workspace list page, click the name of your workspace to open it.

    Add workspace members

    1. In the lower-left corner of the workspace page, choose Workspace Management.

    2. Click Add Member. In the dialog box that appears, select a Member and a Role.

      Note

      The user you want to add must be a DMS user who was manually added to DMS by an administrator or a RAM user synchronized to DMS. Otherwise, the user will not be available for selection in the Member drop-down list.

      The following table describes the roles and permissions in the workspace.

      Role

      Permission description

      Workspace Administrator

      Note

      By default, the workspace creator is the administrator of the workspace.

      This role has the highest permissions in the workspace and can add or remove members and edit member roles.

      Development

      This role has permissions for data development and maintenance, data source import, SQL execution, and development and maintenance of Notebook and task orchestration.

      Note

      Whether you can use a data source depends on whether your Alibaba Cloud account has the required permissions, such as query and change permissions.

      O&M

      This role has permissions to publish and maintain production tasks, such as publishing the main branch and maintaining the production environment. It also has permissions to view the running status of tasks and perform corresponding operations on the O&M page of task orchestration.

      Visitor

      This role has only read-only permissions. It has permissions to view SQL statements, Notebook file code, and the task flow design and code content of task orchestration.

    3. Click Confirm.

    (Optional) Edit and redeploy Dify

    • Change Configuration: To change the basic configuration, you must first release the existing resources.

    • Redeploy: Restarts the service.

    • Release Computing Resources: Releases the computing resources used by Dify. After the resources are released, you must reconfigure the resource specifications if you reconfigure the resource rules.

    • Upgrade/Downgrade Computing Resources: In the Computing Resources module, click the Upgrade/Downgrade Resources button. You can change the number of replicas, configuration method, and resource specifications.

    • Change Billing Method: In the Computing Resources module, locate the Billing Method item:

      • If the current method is Subscription, click the Switch To Pay-As-You-Go button.

      • If the current method is Pay-as-you-go, click the Switch To Subscription button.

    Develop large language model applications

    1. Open Dify.

      On the left side of the workspace, click the Dify image icon.

    2. Configure the accounts and role permissions in the Dify workspace.

      After you enter the Dify workspace, click your profile picture in the upper-right corner and choose Settings to manage accounts and permissions.

      Note

      By default, the account used to log on to DMS is also used to log on to the Dify workspace. This account is assigned the owner role and can modify the roles of other users.

    3. Develop LLM applications. For more information, see the Dify official documentation.

      If you have any questions when you use this feature, contact DMS technical support.

    FAQ

    Q: If I change the account or password for a configured RDS PostgreSQL, Redis, or AnalyticDB for PostgreSQL database, will it affect my configured resources?

    A: Yes, it will. If you change the database credentials, you must update the account and password in the instance management feature of DMS. Then, redeploy the resources in the Dify workspace. For more information about how to configure a database account and password, see Edit instance information.
