## Documentation content

### class datarobot.UseCase

Representation of a Use Case.

- Variables:

> [!NOTE] Examples
> ```
> import datarobot
> with UseCase.get("2348ac"):
>     print(f"The current use case is {dr.Context.use_case}")
> ```

#### get_uri()

- Returns: url – Permanent static hyperlink to this Use Case.
- Return type: str

#### classmethod get(use_case_id)

Gets information about a Use Case.

- Parameters: use_case_id ( str ) – The identifier of the Use Case you want to load.
- Returns: use_case – The queried Use Case.
- Return type: UseCase

#### classmethod list(search_params=None)

Returns the Use Cases associated with this account.

- Parameters:search_params(dict,optional.) – If notNone, the returned projects are filtered by lookup. NotesCurrently, you can query use cases by:offset- The number of records to skip over. Default 0.limit- The number of records to return in the range from 1 to 100. Default 100.search- Only return Use Cases with names that match the given string.project_id- Only return Use Cases associated with the given project ID.application_id- Only return Use Cases associated with the given app.orderBy- The order to sort the Use Cases.orderByqueries can use the following options:idor-idnameor-namedescriptionor-descriptionprojects_countor-projects_countdatasets_countor-datasets_countfiles_countor-files_countnotebooks_countor-notebooks_countapplications_countor-applications_countcreated_ator-created_atcreated_byor-created_byupdated_ator-updated_atupdated_byor-updated_by

- Returns: use_cases – Contains a list of Use Cases associated with this user
  account.
- Return type: list of UseCase instances
- Raises: TypeError – Raised if search_params parameter is provided,
      but is not of supported type.

#### classmethod create(name=None, description=None)

Create a new Use Case.

- Parameters:
- Returns: use_case – The created Use Case.
- Return type: UseCase

#### classmethod delete(use_case_id)

Delete a Use Case.

- Parameters: use_case_id ( str ) – The ID of the Use Case to be deleted.
- Return type: None

#### update(name=None, description=None)

Update a Use Case’s name or description.

- Parameters:
- Returns: use_case – The updated Use Case.
- Return type: UseCase

#### add(entity=None, entity_type=None, entity_id=None)

Add an entity (project, dataset, etc.) to a Use Case. Can only accept either an entity or
an entity type and entity ID, but not both.

Projects and Applications can only be linked to a single Use Case. Datasets can be linked to multiple Use Cases.

There are some prerequisites for linking Projects to a Use Case which are explained in the [user guide](https://docs.datarobot.com/en/docs/api/dev-learning/python/use_cases/use_cases.html#add-project-to-a-use-case).

- Parameters:
- Returns: use_case_reference_entity – The newly created reference link between this Use Case and the entity.
- Return type: UseCaseReferenceEntity

#### remove(entity=None, entity_type=None, entity_id=None)

Remove an entity from a Use Case. Can only accept either an entity or
an entity type and entity ID, but not both.

- Parameters:
- Return type: None

#### share(roles)

Share this Use Case with or remove access from one or more user(s).

- Parameters:roles(List[SharingRole]) – A list ofSharingRoleinstances, each of which
references a user and a role to be assigned. Currently, the only supported roles for Use Cases are OWNER, EDITOR, and CONSUMER,
and the only supported SHARING_RECIPIENT_TYPE is USER. To remove access, set a user’s role todatarobot.enums.SHARING_ROLE.NO_ROLE.
*Return type:None

> [!NOTE] Examples
> The [SharingRole](https://docs.datarobot.com/en/docs/api/reference/sdk/data-registry.html#datarobot.models.sharing.SharingRole) class is needed in order to
> share a Use Case with one or more users.
> 
> For example, suppose you had a list of user IDs you wanted to share this Use Case with. You could use
> a loop to generate a list of [SharingRole](https://docs.datarobot.com/en/docs/api/reference/sdk/data-registry.html#datarobot.models.sharing.SharingRole) objects for them,
> and bulk share this Use Case.
> 
> ```
> >>> from datarobot.models.use_cases.use_case import UseCase
> >>> from datarobot.models.sharing import SharingRole
> >>> from datarobot.enums import SHARING_ROLE, SHARING_RECIPIENT_TYPE
> >>>
> >>> user_ids = ["60912e09fd1f04e832a575c1", "639ce542862e9b1b1bfa8f1b", "63e185e7cd3a5f8e190c6393"]
> >>> sharing_roles = []
> >>> for user_id in user_ids:
> ...     new_sharing_role = SharingRole(
> ...         role=SHARING_ROLE.CONSUMER,
> ...         share_recipient_type=SHARING_RECIPIENT_TYPE.USER,
> ...         id=user_id,
> ...     )
> ...     sharing_roles.append(new_sharing_role)
> >>> use_case = UseCase.get(use_case_id="5f33f1fd9071ae13568237b2")
> >>> use_case.share(roles=sharing_roles)
> ```
> 
> Similarly, a [SharingRole](https://docs.datarobot.com/en/docs/api/reference/sdk/data-registry.html#datarobot.models.sharing.SharingRole) instance can be used to
> remove a user’s access if the `role` is set to `SHARING_ROLE.NO_ROLE`, like in this example:
> 
> ```
> >>> from datarobot.models.use_cases.use_case import UseCase
> >>> from datarobot.models.sharing import SharingRole
> >>> from datarobot.enums import SHARING_ROLE, SHARING_RECIPIENT_TYPE
> >>>
> >>> user_to_remove = "foo.bar@datarobot.com"
> ... remove_sharing_role = SharingRole(
> ...     role=SHARING_ROLE.NO_ROLE,
> ...     share_recipient_type=SHARING_RECIPIENT_TYPE.USER,
> ...     username=user_to_remove,
> ... )
> >>> use_case = UseCase.get(use_case_id="5f33f1fd9071ae13568237b2")
> >>> use_case.share(roles=[remove_sharing_role])
> ```
