Security

When you open attach or clone remote directories, DataSpell immediately lets you decide how to handle a project that contains unfamiliar source code.

You can select one of the following actions:

• Preview in Safe Mode: in this case DataSpell opens a project in a "preview mode" meaning you can browse the project's sources, but there are restrictions in running any notebooks or scripts..

  DataSpell displays a notification on top of the editor area, and you can click the Trust project… link and load your project at any time.

• Trust Project: in this case, DataSpell opens and loads a project. That means project is initialized, project's plugins are resolved, dependencies are added, and all DataSpell features are available.

• Don't Open: in this case DataSpell cancels the action.

note

Select the Trust projects in <path> checkbox to trust the directory from which you are trying to open the project. Next time you open a project from that directory, it will be opened and loaded automatically.

When you open a project created on a different machine, it might contain some scripts or tasks that are executed during the opening process. If such tasks are found, DataSpell displays a notification suggesting that the code you are about to execute might be harmful.

You can review what tasks will be executed and modify the settings.

You can configure what sources DataSpell should consider safe and load such projects automatically during the opening process.

You can add your home directory to the trusted locations to disable DataSpell's warnings about untrusted projects.
