Manage Users

This article explains how to manage user access to DataForge workspaces.  

Overview of User Access:

User access in DataForge is controlled at two levels: Workspace and Project. Workspace-level permissions control access to read/write to workspace configurations such as connections, schedules, cluster and process configurations, system config, and creating projects. Project-level permissions control access to operate and read/write to objects such as sources, outputs, and templates.

Note: The following management capabilities are available on the DataForge platform for all standard deployments. For private enterprise deployments, the Users page is read-only, and all access is managed through Auth0.

Workspace roles:

Admin: A workspace admin can add or remove users and can assign other users as admins.  Admins have access to all projects and configurations in the workspace.

Power User: A power user can manage workspace-wide configurations and can create projects. Power users are automatically added as Project Editors in each project. Project editor permissions can be removed from power users across projects. 

User: A user can reset their password and has access to select projects based on project level permissions. Users have no workspace-wide configuration access.

Project roles:

Each project access level includes permissions from the level below it.

Owner: Write access to change project user access and can delete and rename project. Editor-level access to change configurations and operate processing.

Editor: Write access to configurations and ability to lock project and import to project. Has ability to enable/disable ingestions and operate processing.

Operator: Read-only access to configurations. Has ability to enable/disable ingestions and operate processing.

Read-only: Read-only access to configurations. No ability to operate processing.
