What is the relationship between dataset permissions and object permissions?

• A. Object data inherit permissions from their backing datasets.
• B. They are completely independent.
• C. Backing datasets inherit object permissions.
• D. Permissions are based on data volume.

Answer: (A)

In Palantir Foundry, object permissions follow the rules of their backing dataset. This means access to an object is governed by the dataset it originated from, so if a user has permission to view the dataset, they automatically have permission to see the related object; if they don’t, the object remains inaccessible even if its own permissions try to grant access. This inheritance keeps security consistent across derived content and avoids conflicting or duplicate permission management. The idea that permissions are independent isn’t accurate, and the notion that backing datasets inherit object permissions is the reverse of how it actually works, while permissions based on data volume isn’t related to access control.
