This creates a clear requirement: security must be defined once and enforced consistently everywhere data is consumed.
Enterprises have never had more ways to store and analyze data. As data spreads across clouds, formats, and analytics engines, security policies tend to fragment along the same lines: each system brings its own model, its own controls, and its own blind spots. The result is a patchwork of inconsistent enforcement, duplicated effort, and higher risk. Yet … Continue reading “The future of data security is interoperability: a technical look at OneLake security”
Microsoft Fabric continues to expand the OneLake security surface with new granular REST API support for role management, giving developers and platform teams far more control over how security policies are created, retrieved, and managed programmatically. In addition to the existing batch role API, Fabric now offers discrete Create, Get, and Delete role APIs, making … Continue reading “Granular APIs for OneLake security (Preview)”
OneLake security now supports Mirrored Databases in Microsoft Fabric with the ability to define OneLake data access roles on all Mirrored item types. This update brings granular, role-based access control to data replicated into OneLake from transactional systems, extending the OneLake security model beyond lakehouses and enabling secure reuse of mirrored data across the organization. … Continue reading “Manage OneLake security for Mirrored Databases (Preview)”
Introduction to ReadWrite access Support for ReadWrite access controls within lakehouse items is a powerful new capability, now available in preview. This enhancement gives data owners the ability to grant precise write permissions to users—without requiring elevated workspace roles like Admin or Member. With ReadWrite access, workspace viewers or users with only Read access can … Continue reading “Fine-grained ReadWrite access to data with OneLake security (Preview)”
