Configure group to project mapping#

Introduction#

A group-to-project mapping lets you automatically add all members of a Hopsworks group to a project, eliminating the need to add each user individually. To create a mapping, you simply select a Hopsworks group, choose the project it should be linked to, and assign the role that its members will have within that project.

Once a mapping is created, project membership is controlled through Hopsworks group membership. Any updates made to the Hopsworks group—such as adding or removing users—will automatically be reflected in the project membership. For example, if a user is removed from the Hopsworks group, they will also be removed from the corresponding project.

Prerequisites#

1. Hopsworks group mapping sync enabled. This can be done by setting the variable hw_group_mapping_sync_enabled=true. See Cluster Configuration on how to change variable values in Hopsworks.

If you can not find the variable hw_group_mapping_sync_enabled create it by clicking on New variable.

Step 1: Create a mapping#

To create a mapping go to Cluster Settings by clicking on your name in the top right corner of the navigation bar and choosing Cluster Settings from the dropdown menu. In the Project mapping tab, you can create a new mapping by clicking on Create new mapping.

This will take you to the create mapping page shown below

Here you can enter your Hopsworks group and map it to a project from the Project drop down list. You can also choose the Project role users will be assigned when they are added to the project.

Finally, click on Create mapping and go back to mappings. You should see the newly created mapping(s) as shown below.

Step 2: Edit a mapping#

From the list of mappings click on the edit button (). This will open a popup that will allow you to change the group, project name, and project role of a mapping.

Step 3: Delete a mapping#

To delete a mapping click on the delete button.
