# DataObject

Represents a data object in Collibra Data Access. These represents all the data entities in a data source (e.g. database, schema, table, column, folder, file, ...).

```graphql
type DataObject {
  accessControls(
    after: String
    filter: AccessControlForDataObjectFilterInput
    limit: Int
    order: [AccessControlOrderByInput!]
  ): AccessControlConnectionResult!
  allTags(
    after: String
    limit: Int
    order: [TagOrderByInput!]
    search: String
  ): TagConnectionResult!
  applicablePermissions: [Permission!]!
