Row-Level Security and Shared Link
Tell them that RLS will not applied for anyone who has workspace access above viewer role. This is by design.
Hi lbendlin, thanks for the response. Unfortunately none of the users had a defined workspace access level, whether as viewer or not, only the access to one specific dataset through a shared link.
I can understand why the RLS was not being applied to any users who had already accessed the link to the dataset, as this would give them full access to that dataset and override the RLS being applied. However, I can't understand why the workspace admin believes these users (without defined permissions on the workspace) could also see other datasets in the same workspace that hadn't been shared.
Unfortunately we're unable to do any further testing as the shared links to the dataset have been removed and the RLS and access to other datasets is now working as expected. It would have been good to understand what was happening, but I guess we will now not find the root cause of this issue.
