What are the key responsibilities of data stewards in your organization?

At UAB we have four primary groups defined with regards to data.

* Data Stewards: the owners of the Sensitive or Restricted data who are ultimately responsible
for authorizing access to the data and making sure that it is secured

* Trusted Designee: an individual who is granted the ability by a data steward to authorize access
to the data; data stewards, however, are always ultimately responsible and accountable for the
use and security of their data and cannot assign that responsibility to a trusted designee

* Data Custodians: individuals or groups who accept, process, store, and/or transmit Sensitive or
Restricted data during the course of conducting approved UAB business processes

* Data Users: individuals authorized to access UAB data tied to approved UAB business processes

Hope this helps.
