Data Security

Spectrum Technology Platform uses a role-based security model to control access to the system. In the Management Console you can use user-created roles to grant or deny a user permission for accessing various parts of Context Graph. Access control allows you to override permissions defined in the Secured Entity Types - Context Graph settings based on a role or a user.

Example:

You create a role using the Secured Entities - Context Graph settings that allows users to view and modify all properties for a model. You then want to deny access to a specific property, such as "Social_Security_Number", for selected users. To deny access for that property, you would create an access control that overrides permissions defined in the role.
