Data Asset Group (DAG)

DAG (Data Asset Group) provides a powerful mechanism for managing governance and security on data objects within OvalEdge. They allow administrators to:

• Override Initial Governance: Assign new Stewards, Custodians, and Owners to data objects, replacing those defined during data ingestion.

• Set Security Permissions: Control access to data objects by granting Metadata (view/edit) permissions to specific roles for DAG tags.

• Create and Manage DAG Tags: Define new tags and organize them hierarchically within the "Tags" section for easy management.

Benefits of DAG:

• Centralized Governance: Streamline governance assignments by managing stakeholders at the tag level.

• Simplified Access Control: Efficiently set permissions for groups of data objects using DAG tags.

  

Creating and Managing DAGs (OE_ADMIN only)

OE_ADMIN and users with the "ovaledge.role.admin" role can create and manage Data Asset Group (DAG) tags within OvalEdge.

Actions

• Create DAGs: Define new DAG tags to manage governance and security settings for data objects.

• Manage Permissions: Grant or revoke Metadata (view/edit) access to DAG tags for specific roles and users based on license limitations.

• Set Security Inheritance: Determine whether DAG security overrides the security defined directly on data objects (Authorized Roles and User Access permissions).

• Delete DAGs: Remove existing DAG tags. Upon deletion, associated data objects revert to their default access permissions and governance roles.
