The latest change in a series of updates to access control now provides a more intuitive default experience for the All members group when building a new Organization. The default experience now restricts users from viewing catalog resources or datasets and projects - allowing only view access of datasets or projects shared with the organization or set as Discoverable. This change allows admins to set more granular access through user groups with different tiers of access, leaving the default All members group as the most restricted.

To give members more access, admin users can change the access configuration for the All members group or add members to groups with more access. 

You can read more about our "out-of-the-box" user groups on the Docs Portal.

Big news today! 🎉

You asked and we listened. Admin users now have the ability to change the default access of the Members of their organization.

You can find this new feature on the Members tab in the section titled Default access for all members.

Members is the special out-of-the-box group that automatically includes all members in an organization and determines the minimum level of access for all members in the organization. Please read more about this setting in our Docs Portal.

With our latest release, users are now able to bookmark even more things. Just click on the bookmark icon from search results on the Resources tab or directly on the detail page to create bookmarks for your metadata resources, insights, collections, datasets, projects and more.

As you click on the bookmark you'll see how many other people have bookmarked the page. Find the full list of your bookmarks on your bookmark page and your latest additions on your personal Action Center home page.

Visit our Docs Portal for more details about bookmarks.

We’ve enriched our suite of metrics with the ability to monitor and govern all change requests submitted and approved/denied to your catalog resources via the UI.

With suggest changes metrics, you can monitor the following:

• All approvals/denials to any ‘suggest change’ request submitted to your catalog resources. 
• All pending ‘suggest change’ requests (neither approved nor denied) 
• An activity receipt on all catalog resources (highlighting the number of edits, deletes, creations, views, and changes submitted on any resource).

PRO TIP: Query these tables in our built in query workbench for powerful insights, such as filtering by a specific type of resource, the responder or requestor, or by a particular date range. This short video highlights some key use cases:

This enhancement to our metrics suite allows governance teams to quickly find a list of all change submissions which haven’t been acted upon, or monitor the changes to your catalog resources made via the UI. 

Tables added/updated:

1. Events - Catalog Resources Approved Or Denied Suggestions - By Day
2. Events - Catalog Resources Pending Suggestions - By Day
3. Events - Catalog Resources Pages Activity - By Day

We're excited to announce that we've released a significant new feature to give organizations more flexibility in managing members and permissions through User Groups.

With groups, you can:

• Create new custom groups to independently manage people, data, and metadata on the platform much more easily.
• Grant groups access to organization-owned datasets and projects.
• Manage different levels of access to all metadata catalog resources via groups.
• Have different access levels for people responsible for catalog configuration and for catalog curation.

This feature has changed how new users are added to organizations on the platform. This short video highlights the changes. 

data.world is built on a knowledge graph that allows rich context and relationships in your data catalog. This data helps users find quick answers and discover related resources and people. Our new Top concept search feature utilizes Eureka Answers to build upon your glossaries and relationships to help surface quick answers and bring them to the top of the search results page.

We are excited to announce upcoming improvements to our help docs portal, including streamlining and consolidating our product documentation, cleaning up deprecated articles and links, and improving the navigation and search experience!

With the site improvements, some of your bookmarks or saved links may no longer work. We have diligently mapped deprecated URLs to the new pags to keep the impact on our users as low as possible. 

If you encounter a link that no longer works, the easiest way to find what you need is to go to the docs portal landing page and search for the information. Please contact support with any questions of issues.

data.world's updated navigation—featuring the Discover button—is now available for all users!

The Discover experience transforms the empty search page into an actionable entry point for all of your resources—whether organization-owned or in the open community.

Learn more about the updated navigation in the preview announcement or read the updated documentation.

We now support the ability to edit collection metadata through the data.world app. If you have the required permissions within your organization, you should now see an edit button on the collection pages.

This functionality is only around editing, with support for suggestions coming soon.

For our enterprise customers, we made a small but significant change to the related resources table. 

The table now returns up to 100 items per page, and is scrollable to enable users to quickly browse the resources. Pagination is supported up to 10 pages, for a max of 1000 resources. The filter box will remain present if there are more than 10 items.

For resources with more than 1000 related items, we recommend taking advantage of the filter to help narrow down the result set.
