Data Labels

A Data Label is a short name used to represent data locations (like tables, collections, or S3 buckets) that you want to protect. A mapping associates a data label to an actual data location. Once mappings are created, the associated data labels can used to build policies that will be used to manage the data access for your repositories.

Manage Data Labels​

In the Cyral control plane UI:

  1. Click Data Labels

  2. The data labels is grouped in two types: Predefined Labels and Custom Labels:

    • Predefined Labels are created automatically as part of your control plane and can be individually disabled. You may use Tags to better organize these data labels into groups.
