Disable Auto-Creation of Private Studios in Alteryx Gallery.

Hi All,

We’re facing a challenge in our Alteryx Gallery user management setup and I’d appreciate some guidance or best practices from the community.

Whenever we add a new user to our Alteryx Gallery, a Private Studio is automatically created for that user — even though we only provide them Member access.

This setup has become difficult to manage because:
• Each user’s private studio is separate, making it hard to track the workflows they create or run.
• We want all developers to publish, schedule, and run workflows under a single shared studio (named “Alteryx Developer Studio”) instead of their own private studios.

At the moment, we’re manually updating each user’s private studio Subscription Key to point to the Alteryx Developer Studio, which works fine — but this process isn’t scalable as the number of users grows.

What we’d like to achieve:
  1. Disable automatic creation of private studios when a new user is added to the Gallery.
  2. Automatically assign all new users to the Alteryx Developer Studio upon creation or first login.
If there’s any configuration setting or API-based automation that could help us implement this, I’d be very interested to know.

Has anyone in the community successfully automated or configured this behavior?
Any suggestions, best practices, or references would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

Hi Kirthika,

Great question — that’s a pretty common challenge when managing multiple users in Gallery. There’s unfortunately no direct setting to stop private studio creation, but you can handle this using the Gallery API to automatically reassign users to your shared “Alteryx Developer Studio” after their first login.

We’ve done something similar and used Phonexa to track and document the automation flow — it really helps keep visibility over which users are linked where. Definitely makes scaling a lot easier as your team grows.

Hi.

 

Thank you so much for the quick response. I really appreciate the tip about handling it through the Gallery API — that sounds like a practical workaround. Could you please share a bit more detail on how you set it up?

Really appreciate your insights!
