programmable security

Programmable security refers to security features that can be implemented through code or configuration to enforce fine-grained access control. In the context of Azure SQL Database, Row Level Security (RLS) is a programmable security feature that allows organizations to control access to rows in a database table based on user characteristics. This enables greater control over which users can access which data, helping to support organizational or industry compliance policies. The feature is designed to be integrated directly into database schemas, making it a flexible tool for managing data security at scale.
