This endpoint requires the `user_access_manage` permission. OAuth apps require the `user_access_manage` authorization [scope](https://docs.datadoghq.com/api/latest/scopes.md#datasets) to access this endpoint. ### Request #### Body Data (required) Dataset payload {% tab title="Model" %} | Parent field | Field | Type | Description | | --------------- | --------------------------------- | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | data [*required*] | object | **Datasets Object Constraints** | **Tag limit per dataset**: | **Tag key rules per telemetry type**: | **Tag value uniqueness**: | | data | attributes [*required*] | object | Dataset metadata and configurations. | | attributes | name [*required*] | string | Name of the dataset. | | attributes | principals [*required*] | [string] | List of access principals, formatted as `principal_type:id`.
