Abstract

Systems and methods for governing access to or use of assets in an analytics platform. Access to assets is controlled with policies that reference attributes. A context of an access request is defined by collecting attributes associated with an access request. The context is then evaluated in light of attributes referenced by the policy applicable to the asset or with a class of the asset. The access request is granted, denied, or partially granted based on whether the attributes defined by the context of the access request comport with the policy.
