Row Level Access

Row Level Access (RLA) allows Builders to control which rows of data each user can access, based on specific attributes configured at the user level. This ensures that users only see data relevant to their role, location, or other designated criteria. The feature enhances data security and personalization by filtering data dynamically per user.

Row Level Access is configured at the "Exploration" level. RLA binds a specific dimension within an (e.g., "Country") to a , allowing for granular control over the data a user can see in that context.

To implement RLA, you bind a dimension in the to a . A dimension is a field in the dataset, such as "Country," "Department," or "Team." The is configured at the user level and determines what value the user has for that dimension. For example, if the "Country" dimension is bound to a User Attribute "user_country," users will only see rows where the "Country" matches their "user_country" value.

Example:

  • Dimension: Country

  • User Attribute: user_country

  • Outcome: A user with "user_country = USA" will only see rows where "Country = USA."

FAQs

Q1: How do I troubleshoot RLA configuration issues?

Q2: What happens if a user doesnโ€™t have a User Attribute set?

Q3: I want some users to see all available data

Ensure that the correct are assigned to users and that the dimension in the Exploration is properly bound to the User Attribute. Check that users have the necessary attribute values set. You can use to validate the setup.

If a User Attribute is not set, the user will see no data for security reasons. So it's important to properly configure the of each users.

The * value can be used in value to indicate that the user can see everything.
