Roles in MyData

In MyData, different roles are defined.

1. Data Owner: the party that owns the data that is offered to one or more Data Users on MyData via a data service. MyData is the place where, as a Data Owner, you have insight and review into which data your organisation shares, with whom and under what conditions. The Data Owner is responsible for:
   • entering into data authorisations with a Data User
   • drawing up conditions for the above authorisation (possibly of a commercial nature)
2. Data Provider: the party that offers and/or provides data (services) on behalf of the Data Owner to Data Users. The required data authorisations are managed via MyData. In some cases, the Data Provider is also the Data Owner (in the case of its own data).
3. Data User: the party that receives the data from a Data Owner based on an agreed authorisation with the Data Owner, via a data service from a Data Provider. As a Data User, MyData clearly shows which data services you consume, which authorisations you have from which Data Owners, and under what conditions.

Below you can see an example visualisation of how the different roles can interact with each other within MyData.

In the example below, the terminal (Data Owner) grants data authorisation to the customer (Data User), with Portbase (the Data Provider) making the data (service) available to the customer on behalf of the terminal.
