Example scenarios for using policies

If your organization uses catalogs to manage data assets, you can further control access to data with catalog properties and policies.

Prerequisites: It is assumed that you have:

• Started the Watson Knowledge Catalog app.
• The permissions to administer policies.
• Selected to permanently enforce policies in your catalog.
• Selected at least one data set, for example, in the Gallery and added it to a project or downloaded it to your computer. You can then add the data asset to your catalog.

The following scenarios provide samples on how to set policies when your catalog has policies enforced:

• Restricting access - no policies
• Authorizing some users and deny everyone else with policies
• Hiding data values in asset columns from others
• Restricting access with policies
