Data Dictionary

Data Dictionary fields define the attributes of Data Access Security main entity data types such as Users, Groups, and Permissions. Each entity has a separate list of attribute fields. This list of attributes can be modified and added to, in order to extend the identities and permissions entity attributes. You can also provide additional context and adjust them to the specific needs of your organization.

These extended attributes can then be viewed in the Data Access Security Identities and Permissions Forensics screens, be queried and filtered, and be used to define certification campaigns and enhance reports.

To create a new data dictionary field, edit, or delete an existing one, go to Admin > Permissions Management > Data Dictionary Fields.

Note

If a data dictionary entry needs to be edited, only the field name can be changed.

To create a new data dictionary entry, select New Data Dictionary Field.

Enter a name for the new data dictionary and select the type. Both of these fields are required.

Search Data Dictionary Fields

To search for specific dictionary entries, use the filter function.

You can either search for the name of the data dictionary or you can do a general filter by the type of data dictionary it is.

Once your filter parameters are set, select Apply.
