# Datasets
Copy pageCopied
Data Access Controls in Datadog is a feature that allows administrators and access managers to regulate access to sensitive data. By defining Restricted Datasets, you can ensure that only specific teams or roles can view certain types of telemetry (for example, logs, traces, metrics, and RUM data).
