data access
Reading stored information
Data access is the ability to retrieve, view, or modify information stored in a database or system.
In computing, it refers to the methods and permissions that allow programs or users to interact with stored data: The API provides data access to third-party developers.
In organizational contexts, data access often concerns who has authorization to see sensitive information: Only managers have data access to salary records.
