Adding users to DataLens

Written by
Yandex Cloud
Updated at March 6, 2025

There are several ways to add a user to DataLens:

  1. Via DataLens: If the user is not planing to access other Yandex Cloud services. This method allows you to add users with a Yandex account. If the user later requires other Yandex Cloud services, you can assign them an additional role in the organization with the current DataLens instance.

  2. Via Yandex Cloud Organization: If the user is planing to use other Yandex Cloud services. This method allows you to invite users with a Yandex account to the organization or add federated users if you have an identity federation configured.

Note

Users can be added or invited by the organization administrator (organization-manager.admin role) or owner (organization-manager.organizations.owner role).
