To restrict access to the CompanyCosts measure so that only User1 can view it in reports, which security concept should you implement?

• A. Row-level security (RLS)
• B. Object-level security (OLS)
• C. Role-based security
• D. Data masking

Answer: (B)

Object-level security focuses on controlling access to individual objects in a data model, such as a specific measure or column. If you want only User1 to view the CompanyCosts measure in reports, you apply access rules directly to that measure, ensuring that the metric itself is visible only to the intended user while remaining hidden from others. Row-level security, by contrast, governs which rows of data a user can see, not whether a particular measure is exposed at all. Data masking hides values within a field but doesn’t remove the object from view for unauthorized users. Role-based security is a broader approach that assigns permissions by role and isn’t as precise for restricting a single object’s visibility unless you layer it with object-specific rules. Object-level security is the direct way to restrict visibility of a specific measure to a single user.
