Sharing

Overview

AP provides an access control model referred as sharing. The sharing model works on the object level, where objects means specific instances of the various entities in AP. The following entities support sharing in AP.

• Data pipelines
• Views
• Data quality checks
• Destinations
• Workflows

The sharing model controls which users can view and edit specific objects in AP. Sharing is in other words two-dimensional.

Who has access

The first dimension defines who has access to an object. The following three levels exist.

Level	Description
Public	All authenticated users within the organization (not anyone on the Internet)
User group	Users which are members of a specific group
User	Specific users

What actions are allowed

The second dimension defines what actions a user are allowed on an object. The following three levels exist.

Level	Description
Can view	Read permission
Can edit	Read and write permission
None	No permission

The combination of who has access and what actions are allowed defines the sharing model for objects in AP.
