Sharing a pipeline

Pipelines can be shared by users who have been given the Share pipeline permission in Talend Management Console. It allows the pipeline owner to control the access level other users have on the shared pipeline.

There are three sharing statuses:
  • Not shared icon means the pipeline is not shared yet.
  • Shared with others icon means the pipeline is shared with other users as Owner.
  • Shared with you icon means the pipeline is shared with you as Editor.
When you are sharing a pipeline, you can give specific rights to the user(s) you are sharing the pipeline with. These rights are:
  • Owner: is able to see, edit, delete, and share the pipeline, as well as to see the dataset(s) and connection(s) associated with the pipeline.
  • Editor: is able to see, edit, and share the pipeline, as well as to see the dataset(s) and connection(s) associated with the pipeline.

When sharing a pipeline, the behaviour is the following:

  • Sharing a pipeline implies that the associated dataset(s) and connection(s) are also shared. If user A shares a pipeline with user B, user B will automatically get a read-only access (as a Viewer) to the dataset(s) and connection(s) associated with the pipeline.
  • Un-sharing a pipeline means un-sharing the dataset(s) and connection(s). If user A decides to un-share this pipeline, the dataset(s) and connection(s) will no longer be available in user B's environment.
  • When sharing a pipeline, a user can only share it with the same, or less rights than the ones they already have. If user A has the Editor role on a pipeline and shares it with user B, User A can only give User B the Editor role, but not Owner.

Procedure

  1. Go to the Pipelines page.
  2. Click the Sharing sharing icon to open the configuration window.
    The sharing configuration window displays a selected user that is about to be added as owner of the shared pipeline.
  3. To share your pipeline:
    1. with one user or one user group: select the group or person's name on the left panel, and click the + icon that appears when you hover over the name in order to add this user as a collaborator.
    2. with several users or several user groups at once: select the groups or users on the left panel using Ctrl + Click or Shift + Click then select the role you want to give them in the Add as list to add these users as collaborators.
    User groups have been previously created on Talend Management Console.
  4. To change the collaborators rights on the pipeline, select the appropriate access level on the list next to their names.
    The drop-down list shows the Owner and Editor user rights.
  5. To remove users from the list of collaborators, click the red cross icon that appears when pointing your mouse over their names.
  6. Click Share to take your changes into account and close the configuration window.

Results

The selected users or user groups have been added to the list of contributors and they can now see your pipeline on the Pipelines page.

The pipeline sharing status changes to pipeline shared with other user(s).
