Using Data Access Groups
Data Access Groups (DAGs) are used to restrict user access to specific subsets of data within the Virtana platform. They ensure that users can only view and interact with data relevant to their permissions, upholding security and confidentiality.
You must have administrator privileges to access the Data Access Groups. In Virtana Platform, you can access the Data Access Groups menu from the Users Management tab in the Settings on the title bar.
From this tab, you can do the following:
View a list of existing data access groups

Last Updated By | The user who last modified the group. |
Last Updated On | The date and time when the group was last modified. |
Actions | A menu that lets you edit or delete the group. |
