A clip from Re:Govern 2023. Asked how FOX separates who sees which layer of its medallion architecture, Mihir Modi explains the playbooks that tag each schema by layer, and the rule behind access: a gold-layer view that answers the top 15 to 20 business questions for most users, silver-layer assets for analysts doing deep dives.

0:05 You know, your medallion architecture, right? There are some questions, I think you touched on this in one of your slides, having different personas. You know, maybe if you could explain how you're using Atlan to kind of separate people that need to access maybe the bronze, silver layer versus there's probably a much larger group that just needs the gold layer. You know, I think you mentioned data policies, metadata policies, things like that. Just talk about that a little bit.

Mihir Modi

0:32 Yeah, absolutely. I think what we did was, you know, since we were very clear on our data strategy, we started defining schemas accordingly, and we are using the power of, you know, automation within Atlan, like writing playbooks to define that, hey, if my asset is a bronze layer, you know, automated tagging would be applied and, you know, our tag would be, let's say, a bronze schema, right? Same goes for silver and gold. And to answer to your other question, right, how do we kind of, you know, thought...

0:59 So our approach was having the most curated data assets available to the business users and not going, you know, haywire and exposing like tens and thousands of assets to any particular user, right? So the approach was, hey, if I can get a, a, a gold layer view which will answer my almost like fifteen to twenty top business questions, I would just expose that. If there is a detailed deep dive analysis required, then probably, you know, someone like analyst or business analyst, we have— we are exposing that silver layer assets to them, right? But to the most executive levels, we are just exposing the gold because that's what they care about, right? So yeah.
