The RBAC capabilities in Azure Machine Learning now offers a new pre-built role defined for the general data scientist user. When assigned, this role will allow a user to perform all actions within a workspace, except for creating/deleting the compute and any workspace level operations.
Text Classification labeling capability in Azure Machine Learning studio allows our users to create text labeling projects and assign labels to their text documents. It supports text classification either multi-label or multi-class project types.
Environments in the Azure Machine Learning studio allows you to create and edit environments through the UI. You can also view both custom and curated environments in your workspace as well as details around properties, dependencies, and image build logs.
How to create labeling projects.
