Question 420
An analyst uses Edit Interactions to hide records from unauthorized users. Why is this insufficient?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Implement RLS for true row security instead of visual interaction suppression. Interaction settings affect display behavior, not data-access authorization.
Incorrect Answers
Interaction settings allow a specific visual to ignore a slicer. This solves “but not the KPI card showing enterprise total”; the stated issue is “Edit Interactions to hide records from unauthorized users”.
Visual interactions can be set to filter, highlight or none where supported. The deciding difference is “but executives want it to fully filter instead” versus “Edit Interactions to hide records from unauthorized users”.
Highlighting can show the selected portion while preserving total context. Its application is “subset while retaining context for the unselected data”, not the need “Edit Interactions to hide records from unauthorized users”.
