Notes

Currently, you can query use cases by:

  • project_id - Only return Use Cases associated with the given project ID.

  • application_id - Only return Use Cases associated with the given app.

  • orderBy - The order to sort the Use Cases.

orderBy queries can use the following options:

  • id or -id

  • name or -name

  • description or -description

  • projects_count or -projects_count

  • datasets_count or -datasets_count

  • notebooks_count or -notebooks_count

add(entity=None, entity_type=None, entity_id=None)

Add an entity (project, dataset, etc.) to a Use Case. Can only accept either an entity or an entity type and entity ID, but not both.

Projects and Applications can only be linked to a single Use Case. Datasets can be linked to multiple Use Cases.

There are some prerequisites for linking Projects to a Use Case which are explained in the user guide.

Parameters:
  • entity (Union[UseCaseReferenceEntity, Project, Dataset, Application]) – An existing entity to be linked to this Use Case. Cannot be used if entity_type and entity_id are passed.

  • entity_type (UseCaseEntityType) – The entity type of the entity to link to this Use Case. Cannot be used if entity is passed.

  • entity_id (str) – The ID of the entity to link to this Use Case. Cannot be used if entity is passed.

Returns:

use_case_reference_entity – The newly created reference link between this Use Case and the entity.

Return type:

UseCaseReferenceEntity

remove(entity=None, entity_type=None, entity_id=None)

Remove an entity from a Use Case. Can only accept either an entity or an entity type and entity ID, but not both.

Parameters:
  • entity (Union[UseCaseReferenceEntity, Project, Dataset, Application]) – An existing entity instance to be removed from a Use Case. Cannot be used if entity_type and entity_id are passed.

  • entity_type (UseCaseEntityType) – The entity type of the entity to link to this Use Case. Cannot be used if entity is passed.

  • entity_id (str) – The ID of the entity to link to this Use Case. Cannot be used if entity is passed.

Return type:

None

share(roles)

Share this Use Case with or remove access from one or more user(s).

Parameters:

roles (List[SharingRole]) –

A list of SharingRole instances, each of which references a user and a role to be assigned.

Currently, the only supported roles for Use Cases are OWNER, EDITOR, and CONSUMER, and the only supported SHARING_RECIPIENT_TYPE is USER.

To remove access, set a user’s role to datarobot.enums.SHARING_ROLE.NO_ROLE.

Return type:

None

Examples

The SharingRole class is needed in order to share a Use Case with one or more users.

For example, suppose you had a list of user IDs you wanted to share this Use Case with. You could use a loop to generate a list of SharingRole objects for them, and bulk share this Use Case.

>>> from datarobot.models.use_cases.use_case import UseCase
>>> from datarobot.models.sharing import SharingRole
>>> from datarobot.enums import SHARING_ROLE, SHARING_RECIPIENT_TYPE
>>>
>>> user_ids = ["60912e09fd1f04e832a575c1", "639ce542862e9b1b1bfa8f1b", "63e185e7cd3a5f8e190c6393"]
>>> sharing_roles = []
>>> for user_id in user_ids:
...     new_sharing_role = SharingRole(
...         role=SHARING_ROLE.CONSUMER,
...         share_recipient_type=SHARING_RECIPIENT_TYPE.USER,
...         id=user_id,
...     )
...     sharing_roles.append(new_sharing_role)
>>> use_case = UseCase.get(use_case_id="5f33f1fd9071ae13568237b2")
>>> use_case.share(roles=sharing_roles)

Similarly, a SharingRole instance can be used to remove a user’s access if the role is set to SHARING_ROLE.NO_ROLE, like in this example:

>>> from datarobot.models.use_cases.use_case import UseCase
>>> from datarobot.models.sharing import SharingRole
>>> from datarobot.enums import SHARING_ROLE, SHARING_RECIPIENT_TYPE
>>>
>>> user_to_remove = "[email protected]"
... remove_sharing_role = SharingRole(
...     role=SHARING_ROLE.NO_ROLE,
...     share_recipient_type=SHARING_RECIPIENT_TYPE.USER,
...     username=user_to_remove,
... )
>>> use_case = UseCase.get(use_case_id="5f33f1fd9071ae13568237b2")
>>> use_case.share(roles=[remove_sharing_role])
get_shared_roles(offset=None, limit=None, id=None)

Retrieve access control information for this Use Case.

Parameters:
  • offset (Optional[int]) – The number of records to skip over. Optional. Default is 0.

  • limit (Optional[int]) – The number of records to return. Optional. Default is 100.

classmethod from_data(data)
