An approach is provided for providing data access via multi-user views. An access management platform determines at least one view of data, wherein the at least one view is created based on one or more queries with one or more projections in one or more monadic elements to the data. The access management platform further determines one or more policies for accessing the data, wherein the one or more policies specify at least one or more access capabilities. The access management platform also causes storage of the one or more policies, the one or more access capabilities, or a combination thereof in the one or more monadic elements. The access management platform further causes granting of access to the at least one view by one or more requesting devices, wherein the granting of the access is determined by processing of the one or more monadic elements.
