What Is a Workspace?

Workspace Overview

A workspace is the basic unit for member management, role assignment, and resource isolation in DataArts Studio. It is an independent project team space in which you can add team members, assign roles, configure computing resources, and perform data development and governance.

A workspace provides the following management capabilities for you as a system administrator:

  • Member permissions: You can manage users in a workspace and their operation permissions.
  • Resource configuration: You can manage the computing resources associated with a workspace.
  • Engine configuration: You can manage the configuration of the computing engines of a workspace.

To enable collaborative development by multiple roles, you can add users to a workspace and assign them the preset roles of DataArts Studio, including admin, developer, deployer, operator, and viewer. Other users have the operation permissions on Management Center, DataArts Migration, DataArts Architecture, DataArts Factory, DataArts Catalog, DataArts Quality, DataArts DataService, and DataArts Security only after they are added to a workspace and assigned permissions.

After you buy a DataArts Studio instance, the system creates a workspace named default for you, for which you are the administrator. You can use the default workspace or create other workspaces as needed.

Workspace Statuses

Status

Description

Supported Operation

Enabled

The workspace is running properly.

Editing, disabling, deleting, and pinning to top the workspace, as well as managing tags of and setting quotas for the workspace

Disabled

The workspace is temporarily disabled.

Enabling and deleting the tag

Deleted

The workspace has been deleted.

None (The operation cannot be undone.)

If you disable a workspace, you cannot access it, edit it, or view its quota. In addition, jobs running in the workspace will stop. However, the CDM clusters and DIS streams you have purchased in the workspace will still be billed. Release unnecessary resources in a timely manner to avoid extra fees.

Workspace Division Suggestions

Dimension

Example

Use Case

Organizational structure

Group workspace, subsidiary workspace, and department workspace

The organizational hierarchy is clear, and resources and permissions need to be isolated by department.

Business domain

Procurement workspace, production workspace, and sales workspace

Data in different business domains is independent of each other, and each team has a clear division of labor.

Implementation environment

Development workspace, test workspace, and production workspace

Different environments need to be isolated to ensure the security of production data.
