# Data Access Control
Within the RBAC framework, Data Access Control determines the specific data sets visible to users.
By applying filters to a group, you ensure its members access only filtered data. Please note that users can be members of more than one [group](/settings/role-based-access-control-rbac/groups.md). This component ensures users engage only with the data relevant to their roles and responsibilities, avoiding unnecessary data and information visibility.
In Finout, you have the flexibility to create customized user groups, tailoring data access to fit specific requirements. For example, creating a group solely for the R\&D team, ensuring access to only those datasets that are related to their work.

**Important**: Data Access is configured to be 'deactivated' by default. To enable Data access for your account, please contact our support team at .

### Enabling data access control
Data Access Control must be enabled in the organization within Finout to start creating user groups based on specific data filters. This can be done only by a user with an Admin role who has permission to manage groups.
1. Log in to Finout as an **Admin** user.
2. Navigate to **Settings**.
3. Select the **Groups** tab.
4. Select or deselect **Allow data access in my organization**.
5. Click **Continue**. Once enabled, you can start creating groups and applying filters to them. See [How to Edit Data Access](/settings/role-based-access-control-rbac/groups/edit-group-data-access.md).
