Configure Data Access Control Rules

By default, no users can access data in any domain. To grant access for tables within the domain, domain owners need to create access rules. Domain Owners can create access rules to define how people belonging to specific roles can access data in their own domain.

To understand this, let’s assume that there are 2 domains; HR and Finance, and 2 roles; Data Analysts and Data Scientist.

The Domain Owner of the HR Domain can decide:

• How data analysts from HR domain can access data in HR domain 

• How data scientists from the HR domain can access data in the HR domain.

• How data analysts from Finance domain can access data in HR domain 

• How data scientists from the Finance domain can access data in the HR domain.

Likewise, the access rules can be created for all the permutation of all the domains and all the roles.
