Items in Dataiku Govern

Item is the generic way to describe the objects manipulated in Dataiku Govern. Items can be:

  • Synced items: they are synced from Dataiku nodes and the hierarchical relationship between objects are represented in the way Dataiku Govern employs inheritance throughout its architecture.

  • Govern items: these can be pure Govern objects such as Business initiatives or the representation of the layer of governance added on synced items.

  • Projects

  • Bundles

  • ML Saved Models and their versions

  • GenAI Items, including:

    • Fine-tuned LLMs and their versions.

Dataiku Govern items

Dataiku Govern enables users to add a governance layer with specific definitions, metrics, attachments, workflows, and sign-offs. You can create this governance layer in two ways:

  • By adding a layer to existing synced items.

  • By independently creating a layer, such as for Govern projects, Business initiatives, and custom items.

A Govern project can be started from the “Governed projects” page during the ideation phase, even before it is linked to a Dataiku project.

For better organization, you can group governed projects into Business initiatives, which are created in Dataiku Govern to link multiple projects with shared business goals.

Access your govern instance history

The Timeline records significant changes, including who made the change, a description, and a timestamp. A detailed table further shows the name of the updated attribute, its previous value, and its new value. To be able to easily find information about specific events, you can also filter the timeline.

The Governance settings tab displays the Instance Governance policies. From there, it is also possible to define specific rules that override the instance-level one.

Assign permissions to a specific item

Role assignments can be configured at the item level with the artifact admin permission. Permissions, inherited role assignment rules, and computed roles are not editable at the item level. To do this, go to the Roles and Permissions settings.
