Description

Now in general availability, dynamic data masking (DDM) granular permissions for Azure SQL Database, Azure Synapse Analytics, and Azure SQL Managed Instance allows you to grant and deny UNMASK permission at the schema-level, the table-level, and the column-level. This enhancement provides a more granular way to control and limit unauthorized access to SQL assets on Azure and improve data security management.
