Concept Flow - Privacy rules and data access
User Requests Data Access
Check Privacy Rules
Allow Access
Provide Data
This flow shows how a data access request is checked against privacy rules to decide if access is allowed or denied.
User requests data
System checks privacy rules
If allowed, data is provided
If denied, error shown| Step | Action | Privacy Rule Check | Result | System Response |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | User requests access to data | N/A | N/A | Proceed to check rules |
| 2 | System checks if user has permission | User has permission? | Yes | Allow access |
| 3 | System provides requested data | N/A | N/A | Data shown to user |
| 4 | User requests access to restricted data | User has permission? | No | Deny access |
| 5 | System denies access | N/A | N/A | Show error message |
| Variable | Start | After Step 2 | After Step 4 | Final |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| User Permission | Unknown | Yes or No | No | Determines access |
| Access Granted | False | True if permission Yes | False if permission No | True or False |
| System Response | None | Data provided if True | Error message if False | Final output to user |
Privacy rules control who can access data. When a user requests data, the system checks these rules. If allowed, data is provided; if not, access is denied. This protects sensitive information from unauthorized users.
