Data Masking issue

[Phani1]

Hi Team,

Note: is_member() only available on Unity Catalog enabled Workspace?

If you’re facing an issue where is_member() is always returning False, it could be due to a variety of reasons. 

Here are a few things you could check:

User and Group Creation: Ensure that the users and groups are correctly created and populated. This includes checking the user identifiers and group identifiers for any discrepancies.

Function Implementation: Review the implementation of the is_member() function. Ensure that it correctly checks whether a user is part of a group.

Data Consistency: If your function relies on some form of data storage to check membership, ensure that this data is consistent and up-to-date.

Regarding your note on the Unity Catalog, it’s a feature in Databricks that allows for centralized d.... It doesn’t directly handle user or group memberships for application-specific functions. However, it does manage identities at the account and workspace levels, which might be relevant depending on how your is_member() function is implemented.
