Administrator's guide

Note

DataRobot performs service maintenance regularly. Although most maintenance will occur unnoticed, some may cause a temporary impact. Status page announcements provide information on service outages, scheduled maintenance, and historical uptime. You can view and subscribe to notifications from the DataRobot status page.

The DataRobot Administrator's Guide is intended to help administrators manage their DataRobot application. Before starting to set up your users and monitoring tools, you may want to review the overview for a description of a typical admin workflow as well as important concepts for managing users in a DataRobot.

You will work with some or all of the actions described in the following sections:
