Configuring accounts as people fields (MDP)

This feature allows you to configure accounts as dynamic selection values for people fields. With this feature enabled, catalog teams can effortlessly tailor metadata fields on resource pages, allowing for a targeted selection from a list of active data.world accounts. This facilitates the configuration of organizational accounts, empowering end-users to easily search and attribute users, enhancing both resource management and user interaction.

Key features:

  • Dynamic selection: Configure user accounts to appear as dropdown values for people fields, simplifying the process of associating users with resources.

  • Filter resources by accounts: Users can utilize these people fields to filter resource lists based on specific accounts, improving data discoverability and management.

Creating account fields

Use the following syntax to add the account as people field to the file:
