Last Updated:Mar 05, 2024

DataWorks allows you to view the following information on the My Data page of Data Map: the data that you own, the data that you manage, the data within the account used for the production environment, your favorites, and permission management data. This topic describes how to view data and manage permissions on data.

Background information

View and manage tables

You can view the tables owned by the current account and search for tables by keyword, environment, project name or database name, and visibility on the following pages. You can also view the details of a table and perform relevant operations on the table.

  • Owned by Me: All tables owned by the current account are displayed on this page.

  • Managed by Me: All tables in the workspaces of which the current account is the workspace administrator are displayed on this page.
