Manage users
As an administrator, you can use the Admin panel to manage users.
User types and roles
- Users
Users are the basic type. They can fully use Datalore functionality. There are four user roles:
VIEWER: Viewers are a special type of users who can only view notebooks and reports shared with them by other Datalore users. Viewers cannot create their own notebooks or publish reports.
REGULAR: regular user. Can create notebooks, workspaces and reports.
ADMIN: admin user with access to the Admin panel.
SUPER_ADMIN: admin user who can also change other users' roles via the Admin panel. The first registered user registered with Datalore is automatically assigned with SUPER_ADMIN role.
Plans
Plans are used to limit resources that are available for users. You set up plans in Datalore config files Docker/Helm) and then assign them to users from the Admin panel.
- Default personal plan
A default personal plan is assigned to all users according to your Datalore configuration and marked as default when viewing the users. It can later be changed for a non-default personal plan or group plan assigned from the Admin panel by a SUPER-ADMIN.
- Non-default personal plan
A non-default personal plan is assigned to an individual user from Datalore's UI (. When assigned, it takes priority over any group plans that are already or will be associated with this user, until a different personal plan is assigned.
- Group plans
Group plans are assigned by SUPER_ADMINS to all members when creating or editing a group from Datalore's UI . This makes sense when the members of a group do not have personal plans assigned to them individually and you want to select one plan that will work for all of them. When a user is a member of several groups, the plan that is listed the last in the plan configuration has priority over the other group plans associated with this user. However, assigning a personal plan to a member of a group overrides any current or future group plan assignments for this user. Managing group plans is described in Manage user groups.
