+
+1. **File location**
+   - Co-located approach: `models/marts/orders.yml`
+   - Parallel sub-folder approach: `models/semantic_models/sem_orders.yml`
+
+2. **File naming**
+   - Co-located approach: Uses the same name as the corresponding mart (`orders.yml`)
+   - Parallel sub-folder approach: Prefixes the file with `sem_` (`sem_orders.yml`)
+
+Choose the approach that best fits your project structure and team preferences. The co-located approach is often simpler for new projects, while the parallel sub-folder approach can be clearer for migrating large existing projects to the Semantic Layer.

 First things first: access to underlying data is always defined and enforced by the underlying data platform (for example, BigQuery, Databricks, Redshift, Snowflake, Starburst, etc.) This access is managed by executing “DCL statements” (namely `grant`). dbt makes it easy to [configure `grants` on models](/reference/resource-configs/grants), which provision data access for other roles/users/groups in the data warehouse. However, dbt does _not_ automatically define or coordinate those grants unless they are configured explicitly. Refer to your organization's system for managing data warehouse permissions.

+<Expandable alt_header="Data types and time zone considerations">
+ 
+When working with custom calendars in MetricFlow, it's important to ensure:
+
+- Consistent data types &mdash; Both your dimension column and the time spine column should use the same data type to allow accurate comparisons. Functions like `DATE_TRUNC` don't change the data type of the input in some databases (like Snowflake). Using different data types can lead to mismatches and inaccurate results.
+
+  We recommend using `DATETIME` or `TIMESTAMP` data types for your time dimensions and time spine, as they support all granularities. The `DATE` data type may not support smaller granularities like hours or minutes.
+
+- Time zones &mdash; MetricFlow currently doesn't perform any timezone manipulation. When working with timezone-aware data, inconsistent time zones may lead to unexpected results during aggregations and comparisons.
+
+For example, if your time spine column is `TIMESTAMP` type and your dimension column is `DATE` type, comparisons between these columns might not work as intended. To fix this, convert your `DATE` column to `TIMESTAMP`, or make sure both columns are the same data type.

 ### Add custom granularities
 
 To add custom granularities, the Semantic Layer supports custom calendar configurations that allow users to query data using non-standard time periods like `fiscal_year` or `retail_month`. You can define these custom granularities (all lowercased) by modifying your model's YAML configuration like this:

 SSO features are essential because they reduce the number of credentials a user must maintain. Users sign in once and the authentication token is shared among integrated services (such as dbt Cloud). The token expires and must be refreshed at predetermined intervals, requiring the user to go through the authentication process again. If the user is disabled in the SSO provider service, their access to dbt Cloud is disabled, and they cannot override this with local auth credentials.

+
+# Git commit signing <Lifecycle status="Enterprise" />
+
+To prevent impersonation and enhance security, you can sign your Git commits before pushing them to your repository. Using your signature, a Git provider can cryptographically verify a commit and mark it as "verified", providing increased confidence about its origin.
+
+You can configure dbt Cloud to sign your Git commits when using the IDE for development. To set up, enable the feature in dbt Cloud, follow the flow to generate a keypair, and upload the public key to your Git provider to use for signature verification.  
+
+
+## Prerequisites 
+
+- GitHub or GitLab is your Git provider. Currently, Azure DevOps is not supported.
+- You have a dbt Cloud account on the [Enterprise plan](https://www.getdbt.com/pricing/).
+
+## Generate GPG keypair in dbt Cloud
+
+To generate a GPG keypair in dbt Cloud, follow these steps:
+1. Go to your **Personal profile** page in dbt Cloud.
+2. Navigate to **Signed Commits** section.
+3. Enable the **Sign commits originating from this user** toggle.
+4. This will generate a GPG keypair. The private key will be used to sign all future Git commits. The public key will be displayed, allowing you to upload it to your Git provider.
+
+<Lightbox src="/img/docs/dbt-cloud/example-git-signed-commits-setting.png" width="95%" title="Example of profile setting Signed commits" />
+
+## Upload public key to Git provider 
+
+To upload the public key to your Git provider, follow the detailed documentation provided by the supported Git provider:
+
+- [GitHub instructions](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/managing-commit-signature-verification/adding-a-gpg-key-to-your-github-account) 
+- [GitLab instructions](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/repository/signed_commits/gpg.html) 
+
+Once you have uploaded the public key to your Git provider, your Git commits will be marked as "Verified" after you push the changes to the repository.
+
+<Lightbox src="/img/docs/dbt-cloud/git-sign-verified.jpg" width="95%" title="Example of a verified Git commit in a Git provider." />
+
+## Considerations
+
+- The GPG keypair is tied to the user, not a specific account. There is a 1:1 relationship between the user and keypair. The same key will be used for signing commits on any accounts the user is a member of.
+- The GPG keypair generated in dbt Cloud is linked to the email address associated with your account at the time of keypair creation. This email identifies the author of signed commits.
+- For your Git commits to be marked as "verified", your dbt Cloud email address must be a verified email address with your Git provider. The Git provider (such as, GitHub, GitLab) checks that the commit's signed email matches a verified email in your Git provider account. If they don’t match, the commit won't be marked as "verified."
+- Keep your dbt Cloud email and Git provider's verified email in sync to avoid verification issues. If you change your dbt Cloud email address:
+  - Generate a new GPG keypair with the updated email, following the [steps mentioned earlier](/docs/cloud/dbt-cloud-ide/git-commit-signing#generate-gpg-keypair-in-dbt-cloud).
+  - Add and verify the new email in your Git provider.

+
+<DetailsToggle alt_header="What happens if I delete my GPG keypair in dbt Cloud?">
+
+If you delete your GPG keypair in dbt Cloud, your Git commits will no longer be signed. You can generate a new GPG keypair by following the [steps mentioned earlier](/docs/cloud/dbt-cloud-ide/git-commit-signing#generate-gpg-keypair-in-dbt-cloud).
+</DetailsToggle>
+
+<DetailsToggle alt_header="What Git providers support GPG keys?">
+
+GitHub and GitLab support commit signing, while Azure DevOps does not. Commit signing is a [git feature](https://git-scm.com/book/ms/v2/Git-Tools-Signing-Your-Work), and is independent of any specific provider. However, not all providers support the upload of public keys, or the display of verification badges on commits.
+
+</DetailsToggle>
+
+<DetailsToggle alt_header="What if my Git provider doesn't support GPG keys?">
+
+If your Git Provider does not explicitly support the uploading of public GPG keys, then
+commits will still be signed using the private key, but no verification information will
+be displayed by the provider.
+
+</DetailsToggle>
+
+<DetailsToggle alt_header="What if my Git provider requires that all commits are signed?">
+
+If your Git provider is configured to enforce commit verification, then unsigned commits
+will be rejected. To avoid this, ensure that you have followed all previous steps to generate
+a keypair, and uploaded the public key to the provider.

-## Overview
-
-dbt Cloud administrators can use dbt Cloud's permissioning model to control
-user-level access in a dbt Cloud account. This access control comes in two flavors:
-License-based and Role-based.
-
-- **License-based Access Controls:** User are configured with account-wide
-  license types. These licenses control the specific parts of the dbt Cloud application
-  that a given user can access.
-- **Role-based Access Control (RBAC):** Users are assigned to _groups_ that have
-  specific permissions on specific projects or the entire account. A user may be
-  a member of multiple groups, and those groups may have permissions on multiple
-  projects.
-
-## License-based access control
-
-Each user on an account is assigned a license type when the user is first
-invited to a given account. This license type may change over time, but a
-user can only have one type of license at any given time.
-
-A user's license type controls the features in dbt Cloud that the user is able
-to access. dbt Cloud's three license types are:
- - **Read-Only**
- - **Developer**
- - **IT**
-
-For more information on these license types, see [Seats & Users](/docs/cloud/manage-access/seats-and-users).
-At a high-level, Developers may be granted _any_ permissions, whereas Read-Only
-users will have read-only permissions applied to all dbt Cloud resources
-regardless of the role-based permissions that the user is assigned. IT users will have Security Admin and Billing Admin permissions applied regardless of the role-based permissions that the user is assigned.
-
-## Role-based access control
-
-:::info dbt Cloud Enterprise
-
-Role-based access control is a feature of the dbt Cloud Enterprise plan
-
-:::
-
-Role-based access control allows for <Term id="grain">fine-grained</Term> permissioning in the dbt Cloud
-application. With role-based access control, users can be assigned varying
-permissions to different projects within a dbt Cloud account. For teams on the
-Enterprise tier, role-based permissions can be generated dynamically from
-configurations in an [Identity Provider](sso-overview).
-
-Role-based permissions are applied to _groups_ and pertain to _projects_. The
-assignable permissions themselves are granted via _permission sets_.
-
-
-### Groups
-
-A group is a collection of users. Users may belong to multiple groups. Members
-of a group inherit any permissions applied to the group itself.
-
-Users can be added to a dbt Cloud group based on their group memberships in the
-configured [Identity Provider](sso-overview) for the account. In this way, dbt
-Cloud administrators can manage access to dbt Cloud resources via identity
-management software like Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), Okta, or GSuite. See _SSO Mappings_ below for
-more information.
-
-You can view the groups in your account or create new groups from the **Team > Groups**
-page in your Account Settings.
-
-<Lightbox
-    src="/img/docs/dbt-cloud/dbt-cloud-enterprise/access-control/group-list.png"
-    title="Viewing a list of groups in the Account Settings page."
-/>
-
-
-### SSO Mappings
-
-SSO Mappings connect Identity Provider (IdP) group membership to dbt Cloud group
-membership. When a user logs into dbt Cloud via a supported identity provider,
-their IdP group memberships are synced with dbt Cloud. Upon logging in
-successfully, the user's group memberships (and therefore, permissions) are
-adjusted accordingly within dbt Cloud automatically.
-
-:::tip Creating SSO Mappings
-
-While dbt Cloud supports mapping multiple IdP groups to a single dbt Cloud
-group, we recommend using a 1:1 mapping to make administration as simple as
-possible. Consider using the same name for your dbt Cloud groups and your IdP
-groups.
-
-:::
-
-
-### Permission Sets
-
-Permission sets are predefined collections of granular permissions. Permission
-sets combine low-level permission grants into high-level roles that can be
-assigned to groups. Some examples of existing permission sets are:
- - Account Admin
- - Git Admin
- - Job Admin
- - Job Viewer
- - ...and more
-
-For a full list of enterprise permission sets, see [Enterprise Permissions](/docs/cloud/manage-access/enterprise-permissions).
-These permission sets are available for assignment to groups and control the ability
-for users in these groups to take specific actions in the dbt Cloud application.
-
-In the following example, the _dbt Cloud Owners_ group is configured with the
-**Account Admin** permission set on _All Projects_ and the **Job Admin** permission
-set on the _Internal Analytics_ project.
-
-<Lightbox
-    src="/img/docs/dbt-cloud/dbt-cloud-enterprise/access-control/group-permissions.png"
-    title="Configuring permissions for the Admins group"
-/>
-
-
-### Manual assignment
-
-dbt Cloud administrators can manually assign users to groups independently of
-IdP attributes. If a dbt Cloud group is configured _without_ any
-SSO Mappings, then the group will be _unmanaged_ and dbt Cloud will not adjust
-group membership automatically when users log into dbt Cloud via an identity
-provider. This behavior may be desirable for teams that have connected an identity
-provider, but have not yet configured SSO Mappings between dbt Cloud and the
-IdP.
-
-If an SSO Mapping is added to an _unmanaged_ group, then it will become
-_managed_, and dbt Cloud may add or remove users to the group automatically at

-## FAQs
-- **When are IdP group memberships updated for SSO Mapped groups?** Group memberships
-  are updated every time a user logs into dbt Cloud via a supported SSO provider. If
-  you've changed group memberships in your identity provider or dbt Cloud, ask your
-  users to log back into dbt Cloud for these group memberships to be synchronized.
-
-- **Can I set up SSO without RBAC?** Yes, see the documentation on
-  [Manual Assignment](#manual-assignment) above for more information on using
-  SSO without RBAC.
-
-- **Can I configure a user's License Type based on IdP Attributes?** Yes, see
-  the docs on [managing license types](/docs/cloud/manage-access/seats-and-users#managing-license-types)
-  for more information.

 - Define models in an upstream ("producer") project that are configured with [`access: public`](/reference/resource-configs/access). You need at least one successful job run after defining their `access`.

+- If the upstream project has a Staging environment, run a job in that Staging environment to ensure the downstream cross-project ref resolves.
 - Each project `name` must be unique in your dbt Cloud account. For example, if you have a dbt project (codebase) for the `jaffle_marketing` team, you should not create separate projects for `Jaffle Marketing - Dev` and `Jaffle Marketing - Prod`. That isolation should instead be handled at the environment level.
   - We are adding support for environment-level permissions and data warehouse connections; please contact your dbt Labs account team for beta access.
 - The `dbt_project.yml` file is case-sensitive, which means the project name must exactly match the name in your `dependencies.yml`.  For example, if your project name is `jaffle_marketing`, you should use `jaffle_marketing` (not `JAFFLE_MARKETING`) in all related files.

You can sign your Git commits when pushing them to the repository to prevent impersonation and enhance security. Supported Git providers are GitHub and GitLab. Refer to [Git commit signing](/docs/cloud/dbt-cloud-ide/git-commit-signing.md) for more information.
+- **New:** With dbt Mesh, you can now enable bidirectional dependencies across your projects. Previously, dbt enforced dependencies to only go in one direction. dbt checks for cycles across projects and raises errors if any are detected. For details, refer to [Cycle detection](/docs/collaborate/govern/project-dependencies#cycle-detection). There's also the [Intro to dbt Mesh](/best-practices/how-we-mesh/mesh-1-intro) guide to help you learn more best practices.
