– A technical resource (usually a DBA) physically grants permission to an application, database, or other data store containing the data.
– A business resource (the Data Owner, the person’s manager, etc.) gives the OK.– A person (staff member, contractor, partner, supplier, etc.) requests access to information.They are involved in a process that is something like this: Data Owners are given the right to decide who can have access to enterprise data. In some organizations, this approach is used for Compliance and Access Management purposes. So it is often convenient to designate “Data Owners” (typically from business groups rather than technical teams) who help coordinate those accountabilities. However, accountabilities for working with that data must be assigned to roles in the organization, and individuals (or teams) fill these roles. This approach acknowledges that enterprise data is “owned” by the enterprise rather than individuals or silos within the enterprise.
