Input Table Access Control

When an input table is created, the Closeddefault access is set to Privileged Access for named users, and No Access for guest users. However, if the input table contains metadata, you can configure additional access controls based on those columns.

You can assign privileged access to unprivileged users or groups, to the entire table, or to sections of the table based on specific column values. For example, you can give a user privileged access to all rows that have a State attribute set to NY.
