Exam Associate Data Practitioner topic 1 question 16 discussion

The best and easiest-to-implement solution is A. Create a sales_region user attribute, and assign each manager’s region as the value of their user attribute. Add an access_filter Explore filter on the region_name dimension by using the sales_region user attribute. This option is optimal because it directly leverages Looker's built-in features for row-level security (Access Filters) and user personalization (User Attributes), making it easy to implement, scalable, maintainable, and secure. Option B (Separate Explores) is inefficient and less maintainable. Option C (Separate Dashboards) does not provide data security and is easily bypassed. Option D (Separate Looker Instances) is extreme overkill, costly, and impractical. Therefore, Option A is the clear and correct choice for an easy-to-implement and secure solution.
