Existing Public Preview Features

Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) Phase 1

Introducing Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC), a new access-control model that brings record-level access management to the OneTrust Platform as part of ABAC Phase 1: Foundations. ABAC complements the platform's existing Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) model by using assignments through sharing, attributes, or workflows to determine which records users can access and what permissions they have on those records. This feature introduces assignment-based permissions, sharing and access management, and record-level auditing, helping organizations implement least-privileged access, improve governance, and simplify collaboration across teams and workflows.

For more information, see Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) Phase 1: Foundations in the Settings & Administration release notes. This feature is related to the following ideas: PLTI-I-638 and GCIA-I-918.

Note:

ABAC is being introduced through a phased rollout that begins with ABAC Phase 1: Foundations, available in Public Preview as part of OneTrust 202608.1.0 for supported objects across Privacy Automation.

For more information, see Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) User Guide and Managing Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) for Privacy Automation.

Restore Deleted Inventory Records

Restore deleted inventory items directly with the Inventory Restore Feature. Users can restore a single record or multiple records at once with bulk restore. When a record is recovered, the inventory item and supported associated data are also restored. This enhancement reduces the need for manual support intervention and helps teams recover records faster.

For more information, see Restoring Deleted Inventory Records.

Enhanced Data Graph Visualizations

View relationships between projects, data sets, and models in the data graph in addition to inventory records. This enhancement provides a clear visualization of how objects relate to each other and to inventory records throughout your data map.

For more information, see Creating and Managing Contextual Relationships.

Inventory Review

|Available with Solution Packaging Only

Gain essential visibility into the flow of newly added and updated inventory records so you can better investigate risks, promote compliance, and enhance efficiency concerning your data map. This review experience allows you to manage pending inventory records that are created by several methods and review inventory records with new or updated data elements.

Things to Know

Legacy Sharing vs ABAC Sharing

OneTrust is planning to transition customers from the legacy sharing experience to Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) sharing for Inventory objects. ABAC provides a more consistent and scalable access model, supports Assets, Processing Activities, Entities, Vendors, and Projects, and offers more advanced access-control options. 

If your tenant currently uses Legacy Share, your existing sharing configuration will continue to work until you are ready to transition. The migration is not automatic, and Legacy Share continues to take precedence for Inventory objects where both sharing models are available. Review your current sharing setup and discuss readiness with your stakeholders; when you are ready, contact your Customer Success Manager or support representative to coordinate the migration.

TheDelete recordsbutton is now called theRecycle binbutton on theAssets,Processing activities,Entities, andVendorsscreens. This enhancement better reflects the increased functionality available via theRecycle binscreen.

TheSet up automationbutton has been moved to the top of theAutomationsscreen for better visibility, and the info icon has been removed from theContextmenu because it is not supported in the new enhanced table.
