OpenSharing
ABAC row filters and column masks can now be applied to views, materialized views and streaming tables that are shared through OpenSharing.
What Beta promises
Open to most customers but not for production: support runs through engineering, and the shape of it can still move. On by default on Premium, off on Enterprise.
| Who can use it | Most customers |
|---|---|
| Production use | No |
| Support | Engineering only |
| On by default | Premium yes, Enterprise no |
