Row-Level Security (short "RLS") is a security mechanism based on Exasol's Virtual Schemas. It allows database administrators control access to a table's row depending on a user's roles and username.
RLS only supports Exasol databases. That means you cannot use RLS between Exasol and a 3rd-party data source.
The RLS installation package contains everything you need to extend an existing Exasol installation with row-level security.
The user guide is divided into the following sections. If you are new to the subject, we recommend reading them in order otherwise you can jump to the part where you need details.
