Technical FAQ
What Platforms does Varonis® DataPrivilege® work with?
Microsoft Windows File Systems, EMC Celerra and Network Appliance NAS devicesHow does Varonis® DataPrivilege® communicate with Data Owners?DataPrivilege will generate proactive alerts to Data Owners via SMTP, and any responses or reviews can be provided through the pre-configured web site and, in some cases, via direct SMTP 'reply to' responses.
What operations can be managed by a Data Owner in DataPrivilege?
A Data Owner can be assigned the management of a domain global group (i.e., who is and is not in the group) and the permissions on a file system or share (including DFS) folder. This can be done via an interactive 'grant / deny' of new permissions, or via a regular, scheduled entitlement review approach.
Who can access the DataPrivilege interface?
All users with a valid domain logon can access DataPrivilege to generate new requests to available, managed resources. Data Owners receive additional permissions that relate to the management of sub-folders and groups under their control. DataPrivilege administrators can also access system configuration information via the interface.
Can Data Owners generate their own reports?
Yes – DataPrivilege allows a Data Owner to report on workflow processes such as who made an access request, who authorized access, and what changes to permissions were implemented.
Do I need to configure DataPrivilege separately from DatAdvantage?
DataPrivilege can be configured in a standalone environment. However, for ease of administration, Data Owner information is automatically synchronized with DatAdvantage where both products are installed.
