Can I track who is accessing my shared data?

Yes, the skill includes patterns for querying system audit logs to monitor request counts, total rows returned, and bytes transferred per recipient.

Does this skill support Row-Level Security (RLS)?

Yes, it provides implementation patterns for applying RLS to shared data, ensuring recipients only see the specific rows or partitions they are authorized to view.

What is the primary benefit of Delta Sharing?

Delta Sharing is an open protocol that allows for secure, real-time data sharing across different organizations and platforms without the need to duplicate or move the data.

How does this skill handle recipient authentication?

The skill manages the creation of recipients and generates secure activation URLs and tokens, ensuring only authorized external partners can access shared datasets.
