Row level security on data assets

  • 1.  Row level security on data assets

    Posted Wed February 15, 2023 09:36 AM

    Going through a POC now using cloud pak for data.

    My understanding is that within the fabric we can block users from looking at certain data assets. I understand too that we can mask certain columns within data assets. However, it does not seem that CP4D offers row level security in the data fabric or at least out of the box. Has anyone implemented row level security in the fabric where based on roles, tags, users, etc. a person/role can have access to a data asset regardless of type(table, excel, csv, json, virtualized etc.) but only be able to see certain rows? 

    We know that at a database level we can set up row level access (ex. Oracles FGAC) however that only works for Oracle tables/views. We are looking for a solution regardless of the type of asset, a customer can shop on the catalog and retrieve rows within assets that they only have access to.
