Self-Service Data Access Policy

Self-service data access policy now in public preview. This enables policies that are auto-generated that control access to underlying datasets.

The business value can be gained by helping with clarity on the consumer requesting access to the data sets. A business is often left asking

1. Which dataset is the user requesting access to?
2. Who must approve the data access request?
3. How many approvers and how long will it take to gain access?
4. Who must provision the data access?
5. is data access transparent?
6. how do I get a policy generated?

The self-service data access request triggers an approval workflow. Thus data discovery becomes easier for a data consumer with Purview on discovery and classification, self service access control. Data stewards and owners keep this information up to date.
