Hi everyone, new to Datahub and I have a few questions I was hoping could be answered. Is it possible to create additional users in the product? Also, is it possible to create read-only user? Look forward to learning more about the product!

Hi Kevin welcome! @big-carpet-38439 has been working on the design for access control for users.

Yes! Soon you shall be able to 🙂

Awesome! thanks for the responses

@careful-processor-39931 As for users, we are going to mainly support auth via connection to an Identity Provider inside your organization (currently we support OIDC, but will extend to LDAP/AD & SAML eventually). That being said, we perform a join between logged in users and our "CorpUser" metadata model. Adding metadata for a user is something you can do any time via normal ingestion path!

@big-carpet-38439 thanks so much for your help. Is there any documentation about how to add users? I cant seem to find any, the info about user metadata is definitely helpful (if I can get some added 🙂) Also, I see RBAC is slated to be released this quarter on the roadmap, is that still on track?

The design is targeted to be finalized by end of June, with impl starting in July. Likely won't wrap up completely until end of July or early August. In terms of ingesting users, you can connect our metadata ingestion framework to an Identity store (eg ldap) and pull relevant metadata out of there and into DataHub. Typically, though we just create users when people login via OIDC or something.. Depends on how you want to handle it, and which sources you need to pull user metadata from!

Thanks!

@careful-processor-39931 Do you have metadata in your Identity Provider system that you feel would be useful to ingest into DataHub in batches?
