Data Access

Data access refers to the ability to retrieve or manipulate data stored in a database or data repository. It encompasses the methods and protocols used to interact with data, allowing users and applications to read, write, update, and delete data as needed. Data access can involve various technologies, such as database management systems (DBMS), APIs, and query languages like SQL. It is a fundamental aspect of data management, enabling efficient, structured, and secure interaction with information. Proper data access controls are essential to ensure data security, maintain privacy, and manage permissions, ensuring that only authorized users can access specific data.
