How Delta Sharing Supports ABAC Sharing for Providers and Recipients

Delta Sharing now supports Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC), allowing providers to share governed tables directly without creating separate copies per recipient.

• •Providers can share ABAC-governed tables directly, with provider-side policies enforced on their side to control internal data access.
• •Recipients can independently apply their own ABAC row filtering and column masking policies on shared tables, enforced correctly at query time.

• •Every action including policy creation, sharing, and access requests is logged in Unity Catalog to support audit trails and regulatory compliance.
