# Publish data products in Amazon DataZone
<a name="publish-data-product"></a>

Amazon DataZone enables data producers to group data assets into well-defined, self-contained packages called data products that are tailored for specific business use-cases. For more information, see [Amazon DataZone terminology and concepts](datazone-concepts.md). 

To publish data products, you must be the owner or the contributor of the project. [Metadata enforcement rules for publishing](metadata-rules-publishing.md) can be configured to establish clear metadata requirements for data producers, restricting when a data product can be published.

To publish a data product complete the following steps. 

1. Navigate to the Amazon DataZone data portal URL and sign in using single sign-on (SSO) or your AWS credentials. If you’re an Amazon DataZone administrator, you can navigate to the Amazon DataZone console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/datazone](https://console.aws.amazon.com/datazone) and sign in with the AWS account where the domain was created, then choose **Open data portal**.

1. In the Amazon DataZone data portal, choose the project in which the data product that you want to publish lives.

1. Choose the **Data** tab, then choose **Inventory data**, and then choose the **Data products** filter. This displays all unpublished existing data products.

1. Choose the data product that you want to publish, and then choose **Publish**. Confirm the publishing of this data product by choosing **Publish data product**. 
**Note**  
Any unpublished data assets that are in this data product will become published, but will only be available through this data product.
