Domains-based ownership for governance

Domains provide a framework for understanding and managing the data that an organization collects and uses. Domain owners can be designated which gives the user the ability to govern what entities are added into the domain to be discoverable by other users in the organization and administrate access to other users by adding them into the membership of the domain.

Example of domains that can be created in your organization:

  • Fundamental business areas: Human Resources, Sales, Finance, Supply Chain, etc.

  • Overarching subject areas: Product, Customer, Location, etc.

  • Organizational functions: Customer Experience, Risk Management, Business Intelligence, etc.

Once you've created your first domain, you can then add data products, link entities from the Catalog, and add members to the Domain.
