Hello Metabase Community,
I would like to request insights and a detailed analysis on the following topics related to Metabase’s capabilities for handling sensitive data and user access control:
- Query Editor for Specific Table Access
- How can we enforce specific table-level access controls for users working in the query editor?
- Are there best practices for limiting the visibility of tables, so that only authorized users can access and run queries on specific tables, without compromising data security?
- What are the most efficient ways to manage different user permissions and ensure compliance with data governance policies, especially in an environment with sensitive financial data?
- Encoding & Masking for Specific Columns (Sensitive Data)
- What options does Metabase provide for encoding or masking sensitive data at the column level (e.g., personal information, financial details)?
- Can we configure column-level encryption or masking dynamically based on user roles, or do we need to implement such features outside Metabase?
- How does this impact the accuracy of the reports and queries that users can run, and are there any trade-offs in terms of performance or data integrity?
- Additionally, any suggestions for integrating external data masking tools with Metabase would be appreciated.
I'm looking for a comprehensive analysis of these features, as well as any financial considerations for implementing them in a production environment. Any case studies or examples of similar implementations would also be very helpful.
Thank you in advance for your insights!
