Communities in DataSphere

Communities represent a way to organize team work in DataSphere. A community determines the scope of projects and resources and helps set up team activities.

Roles determine what the community members can do. A community member may be a developer, editor, or administrator. For a full list of community members, see the Members tab. Developers can create projects and their resources, run calculations in the IDE, and share resources in the community. Editors can change settings. Community administrators can invite new members to the community and manage their roles. For more information about roles in DataSphere, see this article.

You can attach to a community any link you want to share with its members.

To create resources and run projects in the IDE, link a Yandex Cloud billing account to the community. To learn how to do it, see Linking a billing account.

Sharing DataSphere resourcesSharing DataSphere resources

DataSphere resources are assigned to the project in which they were created. However, communities enable you to use resources from one project in another. This helps you save your time and money on recreating resources.

A project editor can use the Access tab on the resource page to share a project resource in a community where they are a developer. The resource will then appear among the community resources and all community members will be able to use it in their projects.

For example, Julia works with multiple teams and belongs to their communities with different access permissions:

• In the Cat lovers community: Admin (the datasphere.communities.admin role).
• In the Counting fences community: Developer (the datasphere.communities.developer role).
• In the Top secret community: Viewer (the datasphere.communities.viewer role), but with the Editor permissions in Project_111 of this community (the datasphere.community-projects.editor role).

Julia can:

• Share the resources of any Cat lovers community's project within this community.
• Share the resources of any Cat lovers community's project in the Counting fences community.
• Publish the Project_111 resources in the Cat lovers and Counting fences communities, but cannot share them in the Top secret community.
