POLICY_REFERENCES view¶

Important

This view is only available in the organization account. For more information, see Premium views in the organization account.

This Organization Usage view lists policy objects and their references in each account.

The view supports aggregation, masking, network, projection, and row access policies.

The view is complementary to the Information Schema table function POLICY_REFERENCES.

MULTIPLE_MASKING_POLICY_ASSIGNED_TO_THE_COLUMN
Specifies that multiple masking policies are assigned to the same column.

COLUMN_IS_MISSING_FOR_SECONDARY_ARG

COLUMN_DATATYPE_MISMATCH_FOR_SECONDARY_ARG
Specifies that the policy is a conditional masking policy and the table has a column with the same name but a different data type than the data type in the masking policy signature.
