Data source policies

Data source policies are the policies that are native to a data source, for example, the Snowflake masking policies and the BigQuery policy tags. Data protection standards and data access rules created in Protect result in policies in the data sources. Protect applies its standards and rules by creating and applying the data source policies on the physical data layer (tables and columns).

The Data Source Policies tab in Protect contains an overview of the native data source policies. To view the policies, you need the Protect Author or Protect Admin global role.

Note Contact Collibra support to import policies from the data source using the Collibra Protect Data Source Policies API.

The table on the Data Source Policies tab contains the policies that are active in the data source. These include both the policies that are manually created in the data source and the policies that are generated in the data source as a result of the data protection standards and data access rules in Protect.

The following table describes the columns that are shown in the table on the Data Source Policies tab.

Column	Description
Policy Name	The name of the policy in the data source.
Policy Logic	The logic that the data source uses to enforce the policy. For example, Snowflake runs an SQL script when you try to access protected data.
Tags	The names of the tags associated with the policy.
Data Source	The data source provider.
