# Accessing Data

Once data is registered through the Databricks Lakebase connection, you will access your data as you normally would through the PostgreSQL connection. If you are subscribed to the data source, Immuta grants you access to the data through a PostgreSQL role.

When you submit a query through the PostgreSQL connection, the PostgreSQL client submits the SQL query to the PostgreSQL server, which then processes the query and determines what data your role is allowed to see. Then, the PostgreSQL server queries the database and returns the query results to the PostgreSQL client, which then returns policy-enforced data to you.

The diagram below illustrates how Immuta, the PostgreSQL server, and PostgreSQL client interact to access data.
