How are user permissions managed for Ontology data access?

• A. Permissions are managed per user only.
• B. User permissions are managed through groups applied to projects.
• C. Permissions are inherited from Data Connection.
• D. Permissions are managed by the Ontology editor.

Answer: (B)

Access to Ontology data is governed by group-based permissions at the project level. In Foundry, you don’t grant rights to individuals one by one; you assign users to groups, and those groups receive specific access rights on the project that contains the Ontology data. A user’s effective permissions come from the groups they belong to, so adding or removing them from a group automatically updates their access. This approach supports scalable and flexible governance as teams evolve. The Ontology editor is a tool for editing content, not the mechanism for controlling who can view or modify Ontology data. Likewise, permissions aren’t inherited from a Data Connection, but are defined through the project’s group assignments.
