Exam DP-750 Topic 1 Question 45 Discussion

Actual exam question for Microsoft's DP-750 exam
Question #: 45
Topic #: 1
You have an Azure Databricks workspace that is enabled for Unity Catalog and contains a catalog named CatalogV Catalog1 contains a schema named Schema! and a table named Table1.
You need to ensure that access to the data in Table1 is controlled by using attribute based access control (ABAC).
What should you apply to Table1, and how should you control access for users? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Suggested Answer:


Explanation:
Attribute-based access control (ABAC) in Unity Catalog is implemented through row filters. A row filter is a SQL function registered on a table that evaluates the identity or group membership of the querying user and returns only the rows they're entitled to see.
The key functions are CURRENT_USER() (returns the logged-in user's email) and IS_ACCOUNT_GROUP_MEMBER() (returns true if the user belongs to a specified group). By building filter logic around these, you create access rules that are data-driven - a user in the 'EMEA' group sees EMEA rows, a user in 'APAC' sees APAC rows - without maintaining separate table-level grants per data segment.
This is what distinguishes ABAC from role-based access control: decisions are based on the user's attributes evaluated at query time, not on static grant lists. The filter is transparent to end users - they query the table normally and only receive rows the policy allows.
