Hello
I am trying to understand RAS but there is limited information in internet.

When I apply a policy to a table, I cannot see the data in the table using database users anymore.

I was expecting that the table will be empty only for application users , but looks like it’s not the case.

Is there a way to enable this policy only for the application users and not database users ?

Regards
Malini

Please share scripts showing what you're doing.

What you have access to do depends on how the roles are configured. If the default policy restricts access, then you'll need to enable roles that do allow access to see data.

You may find the RAS demo in the docs useful:

You may also find the APEX RAS admin app helpful in managing access:
