A company has a policy to restrict access of marketers from viewing PII fields within the Real- Time CDP. The data architect plans to use the attribute-based access control feature to fulfill this req

Question

Options

• ALabels are applied at a field level and inherited by the schemas that use that field.
• BLabels are applied at a field group and inherited by the schemas that use that field group.
• CLabels are applied at a field within a field group and inherited by the schemas that use that field
• DLabels are applied to datasets, and all schemas linked to those datasets inherit the labels.

• A
  13% (7)
• B
  9% (5)
• C
  75% (41)
• D

Explanation

In Adobe Experience Platform (AEP), schemas are composed of reusable field groups - shared building blocks that can be included in multiple schemas. When a data usage label is applied to a specific field inside a field group, every schema that includes that field group automatically inherits the label on that field, which explains the behavior the data architect observed.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is misleading because fields don't exist independently in XDM - they live inside field groups. Saying "field level" without the field group context misrepresents where the label actually lives.
• B is close but wrong in scope - labels are not applied to the entire field group, but to a specific field within it. The distinction matters because you can label some fields (e.g., email) without labeling all fields in a group.
• D reverses the inheritance direction - datasets inherit labels from schemas/field groups, not the other way around. Applying labels at the dataset level is a separate mechanism (data governance labels on datasets), not ABAC schema-level control.

Memory tip: Think of a field group as a shared cookie cutter used across multiple schema "cookies." If you stamp a label onto a slot in that cutter, every cookie made with it comes out with that stamp - you only label once, but all schemas using that field group are automatically covered.
