RLS based on a Column

 

RLS based on a column Hello everyone, how are you? I need your help to create an RLS rule that indicates the contents of a specific column to apply a rule. For example, in a department we have Directors, Superintendents as in the example below:

Is there a way to apply a request rule to look at a specific column instead of the entire row? For example, as much as there are people in the C frame, there are people who can only see CP while others see C. I want exactly that portion that will check only the CP

Hi @ErickReiis ,

 

The full name of RLS is row level security, so filters restrict access to data at the row level. They cannot be configured to restrict access to model objects (including tables, columns or metrics).

If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information and let me know immediately. Looking forward to your reply.
