# Row Access Policies

Row Access Policies in TrustLogix enable organizations to enforce fine-grained access control by restricting data access at the row level based on user attributes, roles, or predefined conditions. This document details how to create a row access policy and includes all available options in dropdown menus.

The **Condition Builder** simplifies policy creation for non-technical users, while the **SQL Builder** offers advanced customization for precise control over data masking rules.

### Steps to Create a Row Access Policy

#### Navigate to the Row Access Policy Configuration

* Log in to **TrustLogix**.
* Click on **Data Sources**.
* Select the relevant **Data Source** (e.g., Healthcare Services).
* Click on **Access Policies**.
* Click **Create Policy**.

#### Define Row Access Policy Details

* Enter the **Policy Name** (e.g., `Grant_Patient_info_By_Assigned_State`).
* Provide a **Policy Description** (e.g., `Grant all patient data to user based on assigned state`).
* Click **Next**.

#### Select Data Scope

* Choose **Named As** or **Classified As**.
* Click **Tags** and enter classification keywords (e.g., `SENSITIVE`, `CONFIDENTIAL`).
* Select the **Schema/Table** to apply the policy (e.g : `HEALTH_CARE.PATIENT_SCHEMA.PATIENT)`
* Click **Close** after selecting the objects.

#### Define Access Conditions

* Click **Use SQL Editor** or **Use Condition Builder**.
* Click **Add Condition**.
* The Attribute drop down will list all available principal type options along with entitlement attributes.
* Choose one of the option based on the condition wanted to be built.
* Select the appropriate operator (`Equals`, `Not Equals`, `Contains`, `Starts With`).
* Based on the attribute chosen Match with drop down will show up with available option
* Choose the option from the Match with drop down. Value option will be provided with additional options based on selected Match with option
* Select or enter the value
* Click **Add Condition** or **Add Nested Condition** to add multiple criteria.
* Click on Save
* Modal window popup to show policy generation progress. If there are no errors policy is created and ready to be deployed
* If required, **review and update** conditions before deployment.
* If there are any validation error due to duplicate policy or column conditions mismatch correct them get the policy created and ready to be deployed
* Click on Deploy button to deploy the policy from the modal.
* Click **Use Condition Builder** or **Use SQL Editor**.

#### Save and Deploy the Policy

* Click **Save** to store the policy.
* Click **Deploy** to enforce the policy across the selected data sources.

**Condition Builder Options:**

* **User-friendly interface** for defining access conditions without requiring SQL knowledge.
* **Attribute Selection:**
  * `Role Name`
  * `User Group`
  * `Department`
  * `Geographical Region`
  * `Country`

> Attributes drop down will list all the attributes created under attribute management screen for this data source

* **Operators:**
  * `Equals`
  * `Not Equals`
  * `Contains`
  * `Starts With`
  * `Ends With`
  * `In List`
  * `Not In List`
* **Logical Operators:**
  * `AND`
  * `OR`
  * `Nested Conditions`
* **Value Assignment:**
  * Static values (e.g., `USA`, `EU`, `APAC`).
  * Dynamic values based on user attributes.

**Advantages**:

* **User-friendly interface** for defining access conditions without having SQL Knowledge.
* Allows **nested conditions** for complex policies.
* Provides **drag-and-drop options** to select attributes, operators, and values.
* Best suited for **non-technical users** who prefer a guided configuration.
* Supports logical operators like **AND**, **OR**, and grouping conditions.

**SQL Editor Options:**

* **Advanced tool** for writing custom conditions in SQL syntax.
* **Allows for:**
  * Fine-grained control over policy conditions.
  * Using `JOINs`, `subqueries`, and `complex expressions`.
  * Applying row-level security based on dynamic queries.
* **Example Query:**

```sql
SELECT * FROM HEALTH_CARE.PATIENT_SCHEMA
WHERE STATE IN (SELECT STATE FROM USER_ATTRIBUTES WHERE USER_ID = CURRENT_USER());
```

**Advantages :**

* **Advanced tool** for writing custom conditions in SQL syntax.
* Allows **fine-grained control** over policy conditions.
* Supports **JOINs, subqueries, and complex expressions**.
* Best suited for **technical users** familiar with SQL.
* Provides **query validation** to ensure correctness before applying conditions.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.trustlogix.io/trust-access/data-access-governance/attribute-based-access-policies/row-access-policies.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
