1. How do you go about permission?

We have pretty advanced RBAC in Secoda. You can make anyone a viewer, guest, admin or editor in the workspace. Viewers and Editors are only able to see the information. Secondly, we allow you to create "groups" for different functions in the organizations (ie. marketing, sales etc.). You can choose to share any resource with a specific user or group. This works similar to the RBAC that Notion uses, which only means that the right people are seeing the right information in Secoda. Lastly, we allow data teams to create "collections" of information, which can be shared with specific groups or specific users. Without sounding bias, I think this is where Secoda excels as a product.

2. What about PII? Some data needs to be stored, but cannot be viewed except for very, very few people and with a strong audit tail. This is a more specialized case for #1.

We have an ability to auto tag PII on a table and column level. Any PII data won't be viewable without permission from the admin.

3. How do you see the tool "spread" the most within companies? I would assume that easy sharing is how people learn about this, then try it themselves... but would love to hear what you actually see.

Usually the Slack integration is the best way to spread Secoda. With our Slack integration, any employee can search for information by pressing /secoda in Slack. You can also push information from Slack to Secoda and vice versa. This exposes Secoda to new employees in the place they work.



Do you or do you have plans to support AD / LDAP directories? Google Groups?
