Data governance¶
You can govern data access based on individual user or user groups, allowing you to control the level of data visibility and interaction according to each group's role. Follow the below section to create a user group. In this section, we will guide you to create user groups.
Authentication¶
To ensure that only authorized users access your Talos application, it's essential to identify who sends the request. This process, called authentication. To enable Authentication in Talos Data API, specify your current dataos heimdall url in config.yaml as shown below.
Add user group¶
Add user groups to control the access to API in config.yaml.
