Rules Set the Context

As a data guardian, you define rule conditions by using metadata, such as user groups, data classes, tags, locations, and purposes, to explain the context in which the data is provisioned. It’s the who, what, where, and why of data provisioning.

Rules support the following metadata:

  • Who

    • user group

  • What

    • asset tag

    • asset term

    • dataset tag

    • field tag

    • field term

    • project tag

  • Where

    • source location

  • Why

    • project purpose

The platform maps user identities to rules through user groups (from integration through LDAP or an internal registry) and user locations.
