    • Ability to use external data sources.

  • Data Authorizers

    • Ready-to-use Authorizers for a variety of 3rd party vendors.

    • Allows you to quickly enforce Access Policies by row-level, column-level, and cell-level access to data stored in Snowflake, Google BigQuery, and Denodo.

  • Visual Policy Map

    • Visual representation of the elements of a Policy, including Dynamic Groups, Conditions, Assets and Applications.

    • Enables you to easily identify WHO (Identities/Dynamic Groups) can do WHAT (Asset Types) and WHEN (Conditions).

    • Drill down capabilities on some elements to understand individual objects within the Policy.

  • Provide Deny Reason in the PDP Response

    • Now possible to see the reasons that a deny response might occur when calling the PDP (example: user not part of a Dynamic Group).

Enhanced Behavior:

  • Scopes a a Managed Object

    • Scopes can now be managed in the Environment Settings screen.

    • Within each Scope, you can manage the Authorization keys.
