CBR (Context‑Based Restrictions) Feature in IBM Data Intelligence (watsonx.data)

In IBM Data Intelligence / watsonx.data, CBR (Context‑Based Restrictions) is a security and governance feature provided by IBM Cloud IAM that adds an extra layer of access control beyond roles and permissions.

Context‑Based Restrictions (CBR) restrict access to IBM Cloud services based on the context of the access request, such as:

  • Network location (IP range, VPC)
  • Endpoint type (public / private)
  • API vs UI access

For IBM watsonx.data (Data Intelligence), CBR can be applied to:

  • UI access
  • REST APIs
  • Data operations
  • Metadata services

Access is allowed only if:

  1. IAM role allows it AND
  2. CBR rule conditions are satisfied

    Hi Arunprasath, thank you for submitting the Aha Idea. Currently this enhancement request is not on our roadmap in the next 12 months. We may re-evaluate it for future consideration.

    Regards,
