Data-Level Access Control with Natural Language
Beyond UI and feature access control, our platform enables powerful data-level restrictions using natural language. Simply describe access policies in plain English, and the AI automatically generates and applies the appropriate data filtering rules during report generation.
Natural Language Policy Definition
Define data access policies using plain English instructions:
Regional Sales Manager Policy
"Sales managers can only see data for their assigned region. John Smith manages West region, Sarah Johnson manages East region, and Carlos Rodriguez manages South region."
HR Data Privacy Policy
"HR team members can see all employee records but salary information should only be visible to HR managers and above. Personal contact information should be hidden from department heads."
Financial Data Policy
"Finance analysts can view revenue data but not profit margins. Finance directors can see all financial metrics. Non-finance employees can only see public KPIs from the previous quarter."

How Role-Based Access Control Works
Define Roles
Create specific roles that match your organization's structure. Each role represents a job function with a predefined set of access permissions.
System Status: 5 roles defined with custom permission sets
Configure Permissions
Set granular permissions for each role, determining exactly what actions they can perform on different resources (view, create, edit, delete, or share).
Permission Setup: 42 permission settings across 8 resource types
Assign Users
Add users to the appropriate roles, automatically giving them all the permissions defined for that role. Users can be assigned to multiple roles when needed.
User Assignment: 52 users assigned across 5 different roles
Audit & Adapt
Monitor access patterns, review audit logs, and make adjustments to roles and permissions as your organization evolves and security requirements change.
Continuous Improvement: 18 audit reports & 7 role optimizations this month
Ongoing cycle that adapts to your organization's changing needs
Key Features
Granular Permission Control
Define precise access permissions at multiple levels – from entire dashboards down to specific data fields – ensuring users see only what they need.
Capabilities:
- Field-level security allows limiting access to sensitive columns
- Row-level filtering based on department, region, or other attributes
- Conditional access rules based on time, location, or device
- Feature-specific controls for analytical tools and export capabilities
Flexible Role Hierarchy
Create an efficient permission structure with role inheritance, allowing you to build sophisticated access models that mirror your organization.
Capabilities:
- Role inheritance for easy permission management at scale
- Multiple role assignment for users with cross-functional duties
- Custom role templates for common job functions and departments
- Organization-based role mapping that reflects your company structure
Comprehensive Audit Trail
Maintain detailed records of all access events and permission changes, making it easy to demonstrate compliance and investigate security incidents.
Capabilities:
- Complete logs of all permission changes with timestamps and users
- Records of access attempts and data access patterns over time
- Exportable audit reports for compliance and security reviews
- Anomaly detection to identify unusual access patterns or breaches
The granular role-based access control system has transformed how we secure our analytical environment. We've reduced security incidents by 73% while enabling greater collaboration across departments. The ability to maintain separate permissions for sensitive financial data while still allowing team-level analytics has been invaluable for our compliance requirements.
