Schema:: ACCOUNT_USAGE

POLICY_REFERENCES View¶

This Account Usage view can be used to identify the objects and columns on which a masking policy is set or the tables and views in which a row access policy is set.

The view is complementary to the information schema table function POLICY_REFERENCES.

Columns¶

Column Name	Data Type	Description
POLICY_DB	TEXT	The database in which the policy is set.
POLICY_SCHEMA	TEXT	The schema in which the policy is set.
POLICY_ID	NUMBER	Internal/system-generated identifier for the policy.
POLICY_NAME	TEXT	The name of the policy.
POLICY_KIND	TEXT	The type of policy.
REF_DATABASE_NAME	TEXT	The name of the database containing an object that the queried object references.
REF_SCHEMA_NAME	TEXT	The name of the schema containing an object that the queried object references.
REF_ENTITY_NAME	TEXT	The name of the object (i.e. table_name, view_name, external_table_name) on which the policy is set.
REF_ENTITY_DOMAIN	TEXT	The object type (i.e. table, view) on which the policy is set.
REF_COLUMN_NAME	TEXT	The column name on which the policy is set.
REF_ARG_COLUMN_NAMES	ARRAY	Returns NULL for rows in the query result in which a Column-level Security masking policy is set.
TAG_DATABASE	TEXT	The name of the database containing the tag that has a policy assigned to the tag or NULL if a policy is not assigned to the tag.
TAG_SCHEMA	TEXT	The name of the schema containing the tag that has a policy assigned to the tag or NULL if a policy is not assigned to the tag.
TAG_NAME	TEXT	The name of the tag that has a policy assigned to it or NULL if a policy is not assigned to the tag.
POLICY_STATUS	TEXT	Specifies the status of the policy, which can be one of four possible values: `ACTIVE`, `MULTIPLE_MASKING_POLICY_ASSIGNED_TO_THE_COLUMN`, `COLUMN_IS_MISSING_FOR_SECONDARY_ARG`, or `COLUMN_DATATYPE_MISMATCH_FOR_SECONDARY_ARG`.

Note the following for the POLICY_STATUS column:

ACTIVE
Specifies that the column (i.e. REF_COLUMN_NAME) is only associated with a single policy by a tag.

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

COLUMN_IS_MISSING_FOR_SECONDARY_ARG
Specifies that the policy (i.e. POLICY_NAME) is a conditional masking policy and the table (i.e. REF_ENTITY_NAME) does not have a column with the same name.

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.

Usage Notes¶

Latency for the view may be up to 120 minutes (2 hours).
The view only displays objects for which the current role for the session has been granted access privileges.
