Datasource

A Datasource is a set of parameters (metadata) that define a connection to a storage system.

Datasource Management

You can access the Datasource Management panel from the sidebar menu:

Once opened, the panel displays all available datasources, which can be:

  • User-created, or
  • System-generated, such as:
  • public: available to all authenticated users
  • <username-bucket>: private to the authenticated user
  • <team-name>: available to all members of a specific Team

  • Edit it
  • Delete it
