While Snowflake primarily employs Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), ABAC can be implemented to enhance data security and governance.
Implementing ABAC in Snowflake:
1. Row Access Policies:
Snowflake's row access policies enable row-level security by defining conditions under which specific rows in a table are visible to users based on their attributes.
These policies evaluate attributes such as user roles, departments, or locations to control data visibility.
2. Dynamic Data Masking:
This feature allows for the masking of sensitive data elements based on user attributes, ensuring that only authorized users can view unmasked data.
It supports ABAC by dynamically adjusting data visibility without altering the underlying data.
3. Integration with External Tools:
Third-party platforms like Immuta provide advanced ABAC capabilities for Snowflake, enabling policy creation based on user attributes and other criteria.
Snowflake has several data governance controls embedded in the application. For example:
OAuth - a standard protocol that allows supported clients authorized access to Snowflake without sharing or storing user login credentials.
Network policies - for limiting/controlling site access by user IP address. Admins can create IP allow and IP block lists.
Object-level access control - granular control over access to objects — who can access what objects, the operations that are allowed on those objects, and the roles that can create or alter access control policies.
Row Access Policies - to enforce access policies that determine which rows are visible in a query result.
Object Tagging - to apply tags to Snowflake objects. This tagging helps track sensitive data and resource usage.
