What we're solving
The difference between user groups and authorization domains can be confusing. This feature allows you to share a workspace or snapshot with groups on import and includes adjusted messaging around authorization domains to clarify their role in user access.
Benefits to the user experience
The import to workspace improvements clarifies our user experience for data custodians and researchers adding users to their workspaces while respecting access constraints. It will let users creating or cloning a workspace use a stepwise wizard to name their workspace and associate billing info, share it with other users, and add additional security monitoring and/or authorization domains if needed.
This experience is also replicated in Terra Data Repository when creating a full view snapshot for consistency.
Try it Out
Go to https://app.terra.bio/#feature-preview to enable the “Enhanced user controls for creating workspaces” feature to access the new workspace creation wizard.
Due to technical limitations, changes to Terra Data Repository cannot go through the preview process, so the changes to snapshots are already released, but it should only contain additive functionality. Let us know what you think!
