Core concepts in PrivaceraCloud

Restrictions to access are configured using data access policies which are comprised of rules. Rules specify which users and groups can access what data.

PrivaceraCloud has three primary functions: Applications, data access users, and data access policies.

  1. Your third-party applications, such as S3 and Databricks, which must be connected to PrivaceraCloud.

  2. Data access users requiring access to the connected resources. These users can be defined individually withinPrivaceraCloud . See Users, groups, and roles.

    Users and groups can also be imported from an IdP such as LDAP/AD.

  3. Policies define the relationship between the data resources and the data access users. Policy rules are established and managed with Resource policies and Tag policies.
