Data Sources Tab
The Data Sources tab provides a listing of the currently associated data sources in your workspace.
Similar to the Data section, this section displays a list of the data sources that are associated or available to your workspace. Keep in mind that Public data sources are available to all workspaces, while Limited data sources must be associated to your workspace specifically. A Data Administrator can associate these data sources.
Databases and Hadoop clusters have their own sections in the list, and each row describes the data source's visibility. When you select a data source, you can see information about the credential settings and add your own, if the data source is configured to accept separate credentials. For example, the data source below has Public visibility and is configured to accept Individual credentials. When you select it, you can choose to add Workspace credentials or Individual credentials.
If you add Workspace credentials, every member of the workspace can access the data source using those credentials. If you select Individual credentials, only you (the user) can access the data source with the credentials you provide. Other members of your workspace must provide their own credentials.
When a data source is selected, you can see recent activity for that data source, as well as add notes or tags.
To edit a data source, you must navigate to the main Data section of the application. You can only do this if you are a Data Administrator or higher.
- Associating a Data Source with a Workspace from Your Workspace
Associating a data source to a workspace allows you to see and use data from that source in your workspace. This is especially useful if you have a data source whose visibility is specified as Limited. A Data Administrator or Application Administrator role is required to complete this task. - Associating a Data Source with a Workspace from the Data Section
