Overview
An SDMX Data Consumer is an Organisation type. A Data Consumer has no special SDMX privileges, but security rules can be set up to grant Data Consumers access to certain data and structures.
Data Consumers are maintained in a collection called a Data Consumer Scheme. An Data Consumer itself must be owned and maintained by an Agency.
