Share Data Pipeline

Apromore allows us to share an ETL pipeline with other users or groups, so that these users or groups can view, edit or own the shared pipeline.

To share an existing ETL pipeline, click on the Manage data pipelines icon in the Portal.

The Data pipeline management window opens, showing all created ETL pipelines. Click on the share icon to share a pipeline.

From the dropdown, select the users/groups we wish to share the pipeline with. Click Share.

By default, Apromore assigns the “Viewer (full)” permission to the shared user/group. We can change the access right in the dropdown. The following access rights can be specified:

  • Viewer (full): The shared user/group can view and utilize the ETL pipeline.

  • Editor: The shared user/group can view, run, and change the parameters of the ETL pipeline.

  • Owner: The shared user/group owns the pipeline allowing them to share the ETL pipeline with other users/groups. They can also view, utilize and change the parameters of the ETL pipeline.

Note

When an ETL pipeline is shared with a user or a group, this user or group also gains ownership of the target folder of the data pipeline. This is necessary in order to run the pipeline successfully, since a pipeline run will produce a log in the target folder.
