Sharing and Access Management

FPT Data Suite is structured using an Organization → Workspace model to ensure separation, manageability, and flexible authorization across user groups and projects:

• Organization: Represents the top-level unit in the system (e.g., a company, corporation, or organization). Each Organization can contain multiple Workspaces and manages users at a global level.

• Workspace: An independent working environment within an Organization, typically associated with a specific project, product, or functional team. A Workspace helps isolate data, configurations, access rights, and technical components (such as Reports, Data, Pipelines) between different groups within the same organization.

Benefits of This Structure

• Segregate data and resources by team or project.

• Manage users by role at both the Organization and Workspace levels.

• Support flexible scaling and operations across multi-team environments.

Access Management Mechanisms

The FPT Data Suite system supports access control through two main mechanisms:

1. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) Users are assigned roles at either the Organization or Workspace level. Each role defines specific access rights to functions and resources such as:

   • Viewing/editing Reports

   • Editing Datasets and Data Models

   • Managing Pipelines

   • Configuring system settings

   Common roles include: Manager, Member, Viewer, etc.

2. Resource Sharing In addition to RBAC, the system supports granular sharing for specific resources (e.g., reports). Users can share resources with individuals or groups, with permissions such as:

   • Viewer: View-only access

   • Member: Editing access

   This promotes flexible collaboration without altering overall permissions at the Workspace or Organization level.

Key Advantages of Combining RBAC and Resource Sharing

• Ensures secure and precise access control.

• Enables flexible collaboration and efficient information sharing among members and teams.
