Assign groups instead of users for dataapps

[Deepak261291]

How to provide group level access to the Dataapps in KNIME business hub instead of user level.

Use case:
We would like to provide access to consumer groups for a Dataapp. However, there is only option to add users individually not a complete group.

I tried to add the group but it is not able to detect it.

Create a team

Teams are firstly created by the KNIME Hub Global Administrator. The global admin will assign a user the role of team admin as well allocate resources to that team. The team admin will be able to start adding team members and create execution contexts that can be used by the team.

There are two types of roles a user can be assigned when part of a team:

• Administrator. A team administrator can:

  • Add/remove users from the team
  • Promote team members to admins
  • Create execution contexts

• Member. A team member can:

  • View the team page, with members list and spaces
  • Create, modify, and delete public and private spaces

• Upload/download items to/from public and private spaces

• Delete items from public and private spaces

The team creator is automatically assigned administrator role and can promote any of the team members to administrators.

As a student/ new learner having limited access to KNIME Business Hub, I dont think its possible to create a group/Team.

Hi @yogesh_nawale
Thanks for the detailed answer. However, I am already aware of these processes and using it in my organization.

My query is more related to assigning group level access to dataapps. I am mostly concerned about consumers which are not the part of any teams. Instead of adding individual consumer user, I would like to know a possibility of adding a group for Dataapp access.

Hello @Deepak261291 ,

Sorry for the delayed answer!
At the moment it is not possible, but we have already an open development ticket for this feature request. It will be implemented in future KNIME Business Hub releases.

Kind regards

ss Hub releases.

Hi @Deepak261291, Did you check the below section on the HUB user guide?
https://docs.knime.com/latest/business_hub_admin_guide/index.html#externally-managed-groups

If you have integrated KNIME Business HUB with LDAP or AD, then you can expose the AD groups into KNIME Business HUB - deployments. The linked website explains the steps needed to configure it.

Also if your AD supports SCIM, then you can refer the below guide to enable groups from AD to HUB using SCIM.
https://docs.knime.com/latest/business_hub_admin_guide/index.html#scim

Give it a try and let us know if it helps.
