Platform For AI:Assign user roles

Last Updated:Aug 25, 2026

iTAG controls operation permissions for data annotation through three roles: Administrator, Labeling team leader, and Labeling worker. This keeps your data and workflow secure. After you assign a role to a RAM user or another Alibaba Cloud account, that account gains the corresponding permissions.

Role permissions

The following table lists the permissions for each role.

FAQ

Q: Why can't I find my RAM user in the account list?

The RAM user must be a member of the current PAI workspace. To add members, see Manage workspaces > Configure member roles.

Q: How do I add external users as Labeling workers?

See Assign roles > External account to assign the Labeling worker role to these users.

Q: Can Labeling workers download raw data?

No. iTAG does not provide a direct download feature for Labeling workers. Raw data access is controlled by the permission policies of the storage service, such as Object Storage Service (OSS). Configure OSS permissions to manage data access.
