Policies and Contracts play an important role in determining which partner may have access to which data and for how long. This article will help you to set up and define policies in Dataspace OS.
There are two basic types of policies:
Usage Policy - A usage policy outlines the rules and guidelines users must follow when accessing and interacting with assets, including restrictions on usage, data handling, and prohibited activities, to ensure safe, fair, and lawful use.
Access Policy - An access policy defines which business partner can access the service, what assets they can access, and under what conditions, ensuring secure and controlled entry based on user roles, permissions, and authentication requirements.
Usage policies and access policies are building blocks for contracts. Contracts in total define the terms and conditions under which partners may access and utilize assets, ensuring compliance with legal, security, and operational standards.
