Exam DBDEA Topics: governance Difficulty: medium

A governance admin wants a single policy attached to the catalog main that masks every column tagged pii = ssn for all users except the compliance_team group. Hundreds of tables live under main, and new columns are tagged every week — they must be covered without editing the policy. In Unity Catalog ABAC, what mechanism identifies which columns the policy protects?

Options (Reading Mode) Click to filter discussion →
  1. A. Governed tags: conditions such as pii = ssn, evaluated with has_tag_value(), match every tagged column — even ones tagged later.
  2. B. Content inspection: Unity Catalog scans column values at query time and masks anything matching an SSN pattern, with no policy configuration.
  3. C. Name heuristics: the policy infers sensitive columns from names such as ssn, tax_id, or national_id.
  4. D. Manual registration: each table owner must list their table's columns in the policy.
