PDP And Client Entitlements

Personalized Data Permissions are the Domo-native entitlement mechanism for client-specific data access inside a shared Domo instance.

Standard Customer Shape

Customer Acme
  Domo group: client_acme_viewers
  App/page access: Acme Client Dashboard
  Dataset PDP:
    Account ID in (...)
    Group ID in (...)
    Contract ID / pricing scope in (...)
    Reporting period allowed
  Optional column masking:
    hide claim/member/PII-sensitive fields

Required PDP Policy Dimensions

Dimension Purpose
account_id / customer id Prevents one customer from seeing another customer's rows.
group_id / group name Supports group-specific claims/audit dashboards.
contract_id / pricing scope Keeps pricing and guarantee context scoped to the right contract.
reporting period Prevents unauthorized access to outside-window results.
column masking Hides or masks member, claim, PII, PHI, or other sensitive fields when not needed.

Operational Rules

  • A dashboard-level client selector is not security.
  • PDP must be enabled on the underlying Domo dataset when Domo-native cards are used for client-specific data.
  • Cards, pages, dashboards, and App Studio apps must be shared to the correct Domo group.
  • Users/groups not included in the applicable PDP policy should not receive rows for that policy.
  • Column policies should be used when a dataset includes fields that are not needed for the client-facing presentation.

Validation Checklist

Check Expected result
user in client_acme_viewers sees only Acme rows.
user in another client group does not see Acme rows.
user has page access but no PDP row match sees no unauthorized rows.
sensitive columns masked member/claim/PII-sensitive fields are hidden or masked.
dataset feeds multiple cards all cards inherit the same row/column entitlement.
