Implement row-level security for regional analysts on shared data model
Real World Scenario
APAC analysts must not query EU customer attributes; shared dashboards currently expose all regions to any licensed user.
Expected Answer
• Apply row-level filters based on user region attribute from SSO
• Separate calculated insights materialized per region if performance requires
• Audit query logs for cross-region access attempts
• Minimize sensitive attributes in shared model — regional extensions
• Test with synthetic users per region in QA
• Document exception process for global executives with justification
• Align with data residency commitments in DPA
