Permissions & data access

Control what users can see and do in Atlan once they have signed in. Scope access by team with personas, by data sensitivity with purposes, by connection, or hide assets entirely. Learn which control to use and how role, persona, and purpose combine.

Protect data by tag (purpose)

Create a purpose in Atlan to scope access by asset tag. Pick one or more tags, attach policies, and protect every asset that carries those tags now and in the future.

Purposes

Purposes in Atlan scope access by asset tag so every asset marked as PII, confidential, or any sensitivity label gets the same policies applied automatically.

Monitor governance metrics in the reporting center dashboard. Track query access for personas and purposes, view tag propagation across assets, and manage governance requests from a centralized view.
