🔆 Highlights

New owner role and user update command

We've added a new user role, owner, that has permissions over all users, workspaces and datasets in Argilla (like the admin role in earlier versions). From this version, the admin role will only have permissions over datasets and users in workspaces assigned to them. You can change a user from admin to owner using a simple CLI command: python -m argilla users update argilla --role owner.

Improved user and workspace management

You can now get lists of users and workspaces, create new ones and give users access to workspaces directly from the Python SDK. Note that only owners will have permissions for all these actions. Admins will be able to give users access to workspaces where they have access.

Metadata fields for Feedback records

You can now add metadata information to your records. This is useful to store information that's not needed for the labeling UI but important for downstream usage (e.g., prompt id, model IDs, etc.)

Changelog 1.11.0

Fixed

• Replaced np.float alias by float to avoid AttributeError when using find_label_errors function with numpy>=1.24.0 (#3214).
• Fixed format_as("datasets") when no responses or optional respones in FeedbackRecord, to set their value to what 🤗 Datasets expects instead of just None (#3224).
• Fixed push_to_huggingface() when generate_card=True (default behaviour), as we were passing a sample record to the ArgillaDatasetCard class, and UUIDs introduced in 1.10.0 (#3192), are not JSON-serializable (#3231).
• Fixed from_argilla and push_to_argilla to ensure consistency on both field and question re-construction, and to ensure UUIDs are properly serialized as str, respectively (#3234).

Added

• Added metadata attribute to the Record of the FeedbackDataset (#3194)
• New users update command to update the role for an existing user (#3188)
• New Workspace class to allow users manage their Argilla workspaces and the users assigned to those workspaces via the Python client (#3180)
• Added User class to let users manage their Argilla users via the Python client (#3169).
• Added an option to display tqdm progress bar to FeedbackDataset.push_to_argilla when looping over the records to upload (#3233).

Changed

• The role system now support three different roles owner, admin and annotator (#3104)
• admin role is scoped to workspace-level operations (#3115)
• The owner user is created among the default pool of users in the quickstart, and the default user in the server has now owner role (#3248), reverting (#3188).

Deprecated

• As of Python 3.7 end-of-life (EOL) on 2023-06-27, Argilla will no longer support Python 3.7 (#3188). More information at https://peps.python.org/pep-0537/
