Object Permissioning Overview

Source: https://www.palantir.com/docs/foundry/object-permissioning/overview/ Captured during the ontology-parity effort. Concrete feature taxonomy only. Note: the overview page is a hub; mechanism detail lives in the linked sub-pages noted below.

Two-level authorization model

Level 1 — Ontology resources (schema)

Schema definitions for structural components: object types (display names, properties, data types, descriptions), link types, action types. These resources do not refer to actual property/primary-key values — they define the framework, not the data.

Actual values: objects with primary keys + property values, and links with concrete data (e.g. an Airplane object with Plane ID = my_plane_id1, Maximum Occupancy = 240).

Referenced security capabilities (sub-pages)

Feature Purpose
Ontology Permissions Control access to schema resources
Managing Object Security Data-level access controls
Restricted-View-Backed Object Types Granular row/column access
Multi-Datasource Objects (MDOs) Cross-source security integration
Object Security Policies Policy-based enforcement

Mechanism specifics (marking propagation, discretionary/mandatory controls, column-level restriction) are documented in those linked sub-pages, not the overview.
