Contractual obligations outside of Dataspace OS

Policies and contracts are an important element of the data chain, data security and compliance with other contractual requirements.

Ensure that policies and contracts comply with the requirements that may exist outside of Catena-X Dataspace OS with your company and partners.

An access policy defines which groups and/or business partners are allowed to access a service. It ensures secure and controlled access by setting clear requirements for user roles, permissions, and authentication.

  1. Navigate to Components then select the EDC, where you want to add policies.

  2. Select Add policy definition.
    The new policy definition is set up in the dialog.

  3. From Policy type select Access policy.

  4. Select participants to whom this policy should grant access. Multiple selections are possible.

  • Membership - Members of the group "Membership".

  • Dismantler - Members of the group "Dismantler".

  • Business policy group (BPN) - Select one or more business partner numbers (BPN) from the list.

  1. Enter a meaningful policy name.

  2. Select Save.

NOTICE

If no participant is set, the policy is valid for all participants of the Catena-X network.

NOTICE
