Use cases

Immuta allows you to build complex access control policies in a simple, scalable manner. However, there are many different ways customers think about access control. Because of this, following one of the common use cases below can speed up your onboarding process. Choose the use case below that best fits your goals. If none of them fit, contact your customer support representative for a more personalized onboarding experience:

• Automate data access control decisions: This is the most common use case. It walks you through how to build table access control policies in a scalable manner and clarifies how to think about table access and adjust existing paradigms.

• Compliantly open more sensitive data for ML and analytics: This is an approach where every user has access to every table, yet you mask the sensitive columns appropriately using data policies. You can apply some of the concepts from the automate data access control decisions use case to how you think about masking policy rules.

• Federated governance for data mesh and self-serve data access: Data mesh is a concept where you delegate operational control of data products to data producers across your organization. This requires delegation of policy management as well, which is the goal of this use case. This use case also covers a generic data shopping experience where users can discover and subscribe to data.
