How does Data Cloud support role-based access control (RBAC)?

• A. Users assigned to roles with permission sets controlling dataset access, actions, and governance tasks
• B. Access is granted to all users by default
• C. RBAC is not supported
• D. RBAC uses only UI themes

Answer: (A)

Role-based access control in Data Cloud works by assigning users to roles and then using permission sets to fine-tune what each role can do. Roles establish a baseline of permissions for datasets, the actions users can take (such as view, query, or modify), and governance-related tasks (like data sharing, masking, tagging, or auditing). Permission sets sit on top of those roles to grant additional privileges or exceptions without creating new roles. This combination lets you enforce least privilege—users only have the rights their role requires—while still allowing flexibility for special cases. Access isn’t granted to everyone by default, and RBAC is supported, while UI themes don’t control permissions.
