Managing Sensitive Data

With DataArts Security, you can manage Data Map assets by security level and control users' access to metadata. After you configure a security level for a specified user or user group, the user or user group can only access assets whose security levels are lower than or equal to the configured security level.

The security level-based permission control policies configured for a DataArts Studio instance are visible to and take effect for all the workspaces of the instance. If no security level-based permission control policy is configured, DataArts Security provides a default policy. This policy grants the permission to access data of the highest security level to all users by default. After the administrator configures a policy, the default policy can be deleted.

Prerequisites

Constraints

  • Only the DAYU Administrator, Tenant Administrator, or data security administrator can create, modify, or delete security level-based permission control policies. Other common users do not have permission to perform these operations.
  • Security level-based permission control is available only for the fields with security levels in Data Map and unavailable for tables with security levels.
  • A user/user group and a security level uniquely identify a security level-based permission control policy. A policy for the same user, user group, or security level cannot be created.
  • If a user or user group corresponds to multiple security levels, the highest security level prevails.

Creating a Sensitive Data Control Policy

  1. On the DataArts Studio console, locate an instance and click Access. On the displayed page, locate a workspace and click DataArts Security.

  2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Sensitive Data Governance.

    A default policy is displayed on the page. This policy grants all users the permission to access data with the highest security level.
