Managing collections

Associating a flow definition with a collection grants visibility and management access only to users or groups with permissions for that collection. This ensures that flow definitions remain accessible only to authorized users based on role-based access control (RBAC).

A flow definition can belong to only one collection at a time. If a flow definition is disassociated from a collection, it moves to an unassigned state, making it accessible to all users with sufficient permissions to the Cloudera Data Flow Catalog.

Make sure that you have DFCollectionAdmin or DFCollectionMember permission to perform this task. For information on account and resource roles, see Cloudera Data Flow Authorization.

• To add a flow definition to a collection:
  1. Go to Data Flow > Catalog
  2. On the Flow Definitions tab, select the flow definition you want to associate with a collection (You can make multiple selections using the checkboxes).
  3. Click Reassign and select the required collection from the list.
  4. Click Reassign to confirm your choice.
• To remove a flow definition from a collection:
  1. Go to Data Flow > Catalog
  2. On the Flow Definitions tab, select the flow definition you want to dissociate from a collection (You can make multiple selections using the checkboxes).
  3. Click Reassign and select the Unassigned option from the list.
  4. Click Reassign to confirm your choice.
