Restricting users from accessing an asset
Create an asset
Bob will once again be the data provider. But this time Bob does not want Alice to see the asset. The first step for Bob will again be to create an asset.
Action (Bob): Create an asset using the following curl
command:
curl --location 'http://dataprovider-controlplane.tx.test/management/v3/assets' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'X-Api-Key: TEST2' \
--data-raw '{
"@context": {},
"@type": "Asset",
"@id": "4",
"properties": {
"description": "Product EDC Demo Asset 4"
},
"dataAddress": {
"@type": "DataAddress",
"type": "HttpData",
"baseUrl": "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/4"
}
}' | jq
Create a permissive access policy
Now that the asset has been created, Bob creates an access policy that defines who can see and therefore access the asset in his catalog. To specify this access, Bob uses the Business Partner Number (BPN). The BPN is a unique identifier for participants of a data space. Bob knows that his exchange partner for this asset has the BPN BPNL00000003AVTH
and Alice BPN is BPNL00000003AZQP
Action (Bob): Create the access policy using the following curl
command:
curl --location 'http://dataprovider-controlplane.tx.test/management/v2/policydefinitions' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'X-Api-Key: TEST2' \
--data-raw '{
"@context": {
"odrl": "http://www.w3.org/ns/odrl/2/"
},
"@type": "PolicyDefinitionRequestDto",
"@id": "41",
"policy": {
"@type": "Policy",
"odrl:permission": [
{
"odrl:action": "USE",
"odrl:constraint": {
"@type": "LogicalConstraint",
"odrl:or": [
{
"@type": "Constraint",
"odrl:leftOperand": "BusinessPartnerNumber",
"odrl:operator": {
"@id": "odrl:eq"
},
"odrl:rightOperand": "BPNL00000003AVTH"
}
]
}
}
]
}
}' | jq
The policydefinitioon is created with the ID 41
{
"@type": "edc:IdResponse",
"@id": "41",
"edc:createdAt": 1715674423858,
"@context": {
"dct": "https://purl.org/dc/terms/",
"tx": "https://w3id.org/tractusx/v0.0.1/ns/",
"edc": "https://w3id.org/edc/v0.0.1/ns/",
"dcat": "https://www.w3.org/ns/dcat/",
"odrl": "http://www.w3.org/ns/odrl/2/",
"dspace": "https://w3id.org/dspace/v0.8/"
}
}
Bob defined a policy which restricts access to connector(s) with the BusinessPartnerNumber BPNL00000003AVTH
. As Alice does not own this BPN, she should not be able to access the asset.
Create a permissive contract policy
Since an access policy has already been created, a contract policy must be created and linked in the contract definition.
Action (Bob): Create the contract policy using the following curl
command:
curl --location 'http://dataprovider-controlplane.tx.test/management/v2/policydefinitions' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'X-Api-Key: TEST2' \
--data-raw '{
"@context": {
"odrl": "http://www.w3.org/ns/odrl/2/"
},
"@type": "PolicyDefinitionRequestDto",
"@id": "42",
"policy": {
"@type": "Policy",
"odrl:permission": [
{
"odrl:action": "USE",
"odrl:constraint": {
"@type": "LogicalConstraint",
"odrl:or": [
{
"@type": "Constraint",
"odrl:leftOperand": "BpnCredential",
"odrl:operator": {
"@id": "odrl:eq"
},
"odrl:rightOperand": "active"
}
]
}
}
]
}
}' | jq
The response should be something like this
{
"@type": "edc:IdResponse",
"@id": "42",
"edc:createdAt": 1715674546763,
"@context": {
"dct": "https://purl.org/dc/terms/",
"tx": "https://w3id.org/tractusx/v0.0.1/ns/",
"edc": "https://w3id.org/edc/v0.0.1/ns/",
"dcat": "https://www.w3.org/ns/dcat/",
"odrl": "http://www.w3.org/ns/odrl/2/",
"dspace": "https://w3id.org/dspace/v0.8/"
}
}
Create a contract definition
Lastly, the asset and the access policy must be linked in a contract definition.
Action (Bob): Create a contract definition including the asset and the policies you have created. For this, use the following curl
command:
curl --location 'http://dataprovider-controlplane.tx.test/management/v2/contractdefinitions' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'X-Api-Key: TEST2' \
--data-raw '{
"@context": {},
"@id": "4",
"@type": "ContractDefinition",
"accessPolicyId": "41",
"contractPolicyId": "42",
"assetsSelector" : {
"@type" : "CriterionDto",
"operandLeft": "https://w3id.org/edc/v0.0.1/ns/id",
"operator": "=",
"operandRight": "4"
}
}' | jq
A response should look like this
{
"@type": "edc:IdResponse",
"@id": "4",
"edc:createdAt": 1715674670136,
"@context": {
"dct": "https://purl.org/dc/terms/",
"tx": "https://w3id.org/tractusx/v0.0.1/ns/",
"edc": "https://w3id.org/edc/v0.0.1/ns/",
"dcat": "https://www.w3.org/ns/dcat/",
"odrl": "http://www.w3.org/ns/odrl/2/",
"dspace": "https://w3id.org/dspace/v0.8/"
}
}
Request catalog
Let´s see if Alice can see the Asset.
Action (Alice): Execute a request using the following curl
command:
curl --location 'http://dataconsumer-1-controlplane.tx.test/management/v2/catalog/request' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'X-Api-Key: TEST1' \
--data-raw '{
"@context": {},
"protocol": "dataspace-protocol-http",
"counterPartyAddress": "http://dataprovider-controlplane.tx.test/api/v1/dsp",
"querySpec": {
"offset": 0,
"limit": 100
}
}' | jq
The response doesnt include the cataolog entry for the asset/offer with id4

Bob’s asset (ID: 4) should not be displayed. The access policy successfully restricts Alice from seeing and therefore obtaining Bob’s asset. Now Bob is able to manage who sees which of his sensitive data assets. If Bob decides to enable Alice to see his asset, he can simply adjust the access policy definition and add Alice BPN BPNL00000003AZQP
to the list of BPNs.
