Grant users access to data assets in your enterprise through the Microsoft Purview policies API

This article is contributed. See the original author and article here.

Microsoft Purview Data owner policies is a cloud-based service that helps you provision access to data sources and datasets securely and at scale. Data owner policies expose a REST API through which you can grant any Azure AD identity (user, group or service principal) to have Read or Modify access to a dataset or data resource. The scope for the access can range from fine-grained (e.g., Table or File) to broad (e.g., entire Azure Resource Group or Subscription). This API provides a consistent interface that abstracts the complexity of permissions for each type of data source.
