# Access Control - Honeydew

## Access Control

Honeydew enforces governance through your warehouse - not around it.

Every query, whether from BI or AI, is compiled with your existing access rules, identities, and data policies built in.

### Governance by Design

Domains in Honeydew are scoped layers of governance that define who sees what and how.

They combine semantic logic with access policies - applying security, filters, and overrides before any query is compiled.

### Built on Your Data Cloud

Honeydew doesn’t reinvent access control - it compiles into it.

Your warehouse is the execution environment and the enforcement point for RLS policies and access roles. Honeydew ensures every query respects those controls automatically.

### User identity propagation

Honeydew connects directly to your identity provider for unified authentication and authorization.

When an authenticated user runs a query - through a dashboard, an API endpoint, or an MCP interface - Honeydew compiles it using their data warehouse identity, propagating their identity end-to-end.

### Your infrastructure, your security

All processing done by Honeydew is on your premises: in your cloud data warehouse, using your LLM provider, your Git provider and your authentication provider.
