wb-resource - Manage references and controlled resources in the workspace.
Synopsis
wb resource [COMMAND]
Description
Workbench contains two types of cloud resources within workspaces: controlled and referenced resources.
A controlled resource is a cloud resource that is managed by Workbench. It’s used for shared project storage and Workbench-controlled analysis environments.
A reference points to an external cloud resource that is not managed by Workbench. It’s used for input data references, or shared cloud resources that are managed outside of Workbench.
The check-access command lets you see whether you have access to a particular resource. This is useful to ensure your account has access to all input data required for an analysis.
The list of resources in a workspace is maintained on the Workbench Workspace Manager server (and the CLI caches this list of resources locally). Third-party tools can access resource details via environment variables (e.g., for a resource named mybucket, the $WORKBENCH_mybucket env variable will be populated with the bucket URL).
