Introduction
Exciting news for all data enthusiasts! We are thrilled to announce that our ChistaDATA DBaaS platform for ClickHouse is now generally available, providing a powerful and reliable solution for managing and analyzing large volumes of data. Our team has been working tirelessly to deliver a seamless experience for our users, and we are proud to have reached this significant milestone. Furthermore, we are delighted to share that our recent Beta release for the DBaaS portal, which took place on Nov 2022, has received positive feedback. Many have requested additional features and functionality, and we are committed to continually improving ChistaDATA to meet the ever-evolving needs of our users.
Over the next few weeks, we will be posting a series of blogs that will explore all the modules and benefits of the ChistaDATA portal in great detail. Each blog will provide comprehensive visualizations and detailed explanations of each feature. In this particular post, we will take a quick glance at the different components involved and give an introduction to all the features that are currently available on the DBaaS portal. So, without further ado, let’s jump right in and get started!
Workspace
Workspaces are clusters grouped together for easy management in the cloud. They allow for access management based on membership and can be assigned to workspace admins for delegation of responsibilities. ChistaDATA offers flexible tier plans for users to create a specified number of workspaces that align with their business requirements.
User Management
The ChistaDATA Portal is equipped with a hierarchical permission management system that enables administrators to effectively assign permissions to individual users across a range of features. This powerful tool ensures greater control and security over user access and privileges.
In the current version, there are three access levels that the admin can assign to users:
- Organization Admin (ORG_ADMIN): Has complete control over all actions available under the current organization.
- Workspaces Admin (WORKSPACES_ADMIN): Has complete control over all actions at the workspace level.
- Read-Only User (READ_ONLY_USER): Can view and interact with all capabilities at the cluster level, but cannot create or delete workspaces or clusters.
Cluster
A cluster refers to the group of ClickHouse instances. The number of clusters an organization can create depends on the tier subscribed at the time of signup.
