Creating a Default View for Different Types of Users in DataHub

Original Slack Thread

<@U06TM7M40RK> Is it possible to create a default view for a specific type of user?

Creating a default view for a specific type of user in DataHub is not directly supported as of the latest information available. According to the <https://datahubproject.io/docs/0.14.0/what-is-datahub/datahub-concepts|DataHub Concepts documentation>, views in DataHub can be either personal or global. Personal views are specific to individual users, while global views are accessible to all users.

However, there is no built-in functionality to assign different default views to different groups of users based on their type or role. The current setup allows for a single global default view that applies to all users, as mentioned in the <Slack discussion>.

If you are looking to implement such a feature, it might require custom development or a feature request to the DataHub project. You can consider submitting a feature request on the <https://feature-requests.datahubproject.io/|DataHub feature requests page> to propose this functionality.

Would you like more detailed information on how views work in DataHub or any other related topic?
