Configure Code Repositories settings in Control Panel
The Palantir extension for Visual Studio Code is in the beta phase of development and may not be available on your enrollment. Functionality may change during active development. The settings related to the extension will only apply to users who have access to the extension. For other users, these settings will have no effect.
You can configure many Organization-wide Code Repositories settings within Control Panel. To modify these settings, you will need the User Experience Administrator role.
Available settings
- Local development: When enabled, users from your Organization will be able to clone code repositories and work on them locally. This setting is enabled by default.
- Palantir extension for Visual Studio Code: When enabled, users from your Organization will be able to use the Palantir extension for Visual Studio Code locally. This extension enables users to view transforms in their repository, preview datasets, and more by connecting to a remote Code Assist workspace. This setting is enabled by default, but it only applies when the Palantir extension for Visual Studio Code is available to users.
- Local preview through the Palantir extension for Visual Studio Code: When this setting is enabled, users from your Organization can preview datasets locally. Local dataset preview involves downloading and temporarily storing parts of datasets to a user's machine as long as they have the appropriate permissions on the data. This setting is disabled by default.
In order to preview locally, users must enable Local preview through the Palantir extension for Visual Studio Code and have downloader permissions on preview inputs, which are s3-proxy:datasets-read and api:datasets-read. These are privileged operations that allow users to download entire datasets locally, and should be granted with care. In cases where users cannot be granted this permission, the VS Code developer experience is still available through Code Workspaces, which guarantee strict data control.
You can learn more about local development, previewing and debugging Python transforms, and using the Palantir extension in our documentation.
