Access to a table is denied by policies in Data Virtualization

Access to a table is denied, yet according to the data policies and authorizations access to the table is expected to be allowed.

Symptoms

You cannot access a table but according to the data protection rules and authorizations, you are authorized to access this table.

Causes

To find the cause of this issue, follow these steps.
  1. Find the corresponding data asset for the denied virtual object in a catalog in IBM Knowledge Catalog.
  2. Open the data asset in the catalog:
    • If you get the following message Asset is temporarily unavailable, the asset is being profiled, which is the reason for the access denial.
    • If you are the asset owner in the catalog, check the Profile tab of the data asset and see that the profile has not yet been created, which is the reason for the access denial.

Resolving the problem

To resolve this issue, start asset profiling and wait for its completion. For more information, see Profiling data assets. After the profiling process completes, data protection rule enforcement on the virtual object matches your defined data protection rules.
