Dify administration and development

This document describes the core workflow of using Dify in the Data Management Service (DMS) console, including workspace management, member collaboration, and LLM application development, to help you quickly build intelligent applications.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, complete the prerequisites described in Dify one-click deployment.

Overview

Enter a workspace: After you log on to the DMS console, you can access the Dify environment.
Add workspace members: Add members to your workspace for collaborative development.
Develop LLM applications: Use Dify to develop LLM applications and accelerate your enterprise's adoption of intelligent solutions.

Enter a workspace

Log in to DMS 5.0.
Move the pointer over the 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.
In the left-side navigation pane, click Workspace. On the workspace list page, click the name of the workspace you created.

Add workspace members

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

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

Note

An administrator must first add members to DMS, either by manually adding them as DMS users or by synchronizing RAM users. Otherwise, the intended members will not appear in the Member drop-down list.

In the top navigation bar of the DMS console, click the User Management tab. Then, click Add and select Add Account or Sync RAM User from the drop-down menu.

The following table describes the permissions for each workspace role.

Role	Description
workspace admin	Note The creator of a workspace is the default administrator of that workspace. This role has full permissions to manage the workspace, including adding and removing members, and editing member roles.
developer	This role has permissions to develop and maintain data, onboard data sources, execute SQL queries, and develop and maintain Notebooks and task orchestration. Note Your ability to use a data source depends on whether your Alibaba Cloud account has the necessary permissions, such as query and modification permissions.

(Optional) Edit or redeploy Dify

Modify configuration: To change the basic configuration, you must first release the resources.
Redeploy: Restarts the service.
Release computing resources: Releases the compute resources used by Dify. After release, if you reconfigure resource rules, you must reconfigure the resource specification.
Reconfigure computing resources: In the Computing Resources module, click Reconfigure Resources to adjust the number of replicas, configuration method, and resource specification.
Change billing method: In the Computing Resources module, locate the billing method setting.
- If the current method is subscription, you can click Switch to pay-as-you-go to change it.

FAQ

Q: What happens if I change the credentials for my configured ApsaraDB RDS for PostgreSQL, Tair, or AnalyticDB for PostgreSQL database? Will this affect my resources?

A: Yes. If you change the database credentials, you must update them in DMS instance management and then redeploy the Dify workspace. For instructions on configuring database credentials, see Edit instance information.
