Restrict view access on Data Catalog (Overview)

If a Rule restricts/blocks a certain table or asset from an account, the account should not be able to see the table appear at all in the catalog. E.g. There is a Rule that denies access to data for assets with 'Data Vault' assigned to it and this rule is enforced on User A account. Currently User A will only be blocked from seeing the 'Asset' and 'Profile' of the table. User A will still able to see the list of columns in the table under "Overview". Business user will want at least the rest of the info in the table to be blocked/restricted as well.

    Hi Angie, thank you for submitting the Aha idea. The data protection rules are designed to enforce access to actual data in IKC (and can support deep enforcement if enabled through IBM Data Virtualization, watsonx.data or IBM Guardium). Asset metadata including list of columns are designed to be visible to users as long as they are collaborators in the projects/catalogs.

    If there is a use case where the customer wants to confine visibility of the asset metadata to a select group of users, we also have a feature called "asset privacy setting" whereby you can make the asset "private" to only the listed asset members. Then only those asset members will be able to see the private assets. Non-asset members won't be able to see the private assets in the catalog. Please see our documentation here: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/cp-data/4.8.x?topic=assets-controlling-access-asset

    Regards,
