Implement row-level access control for Warehouses in Microsoft Fabric (DP-600)

Introduction

Microsoft Fabric provides powerful security features to control data access at a granular level. In the DP-600 certification exam, mastering how to implement row-level access control is essential for ensuring users see only the data relevant to them while maintaining governance and compliance. In this tutorial, you'll learn how to implement row-level security (RLS) for your Fabric Warehouse. This will enhance data security and to ensure a seamless and controlled analytics experience.

Row-level Security

Row-Level Security (RLS) is a database security feature that restricts access to specific rows in a table based on user roles and permissions. It ensures that users can only view or manipulate the data relevant to them, improving data governance and compliance.

RLS can be implemented in a Fabric Warehouse using security predicates and policies. These define and enforce row-level access rules, ensuring users can only view authorized data.

Goal

We consider the Warehouse table courses of the schema university.

Implement Row-Level Security

To implement Row-Level Security, open the desired Fabric Warehouse and create a new SQL query.

Step 1: Create Security Schema

To organize security-related objects, create a dedicated schema.
