Separate access and masking exception request forms for data products
Data products can now be configured with two distinct request forms:
- Data access requests that request access to query tables in the data product.
- Masking exception requests that request exceptions to see unmasked values in restricted columns.
Previously, each data product supported only a single request form, shared for both kinds of requests. Now, stewards can configure independent forms for each request type with the ability to customize:
- Questions tailored to the specific request context
- Separate data use agreements per form type
Why it matters
The information needed to justify a masking exception is often different from what's needed to justify general data access. Having a single shared form meant stewards had to compromise on the questions they asked, or users faced irrelevant questions when submitting a request.
This change also brings data products in line with data assets, which have long supported separate forms. The experience is now consistent regardless of whether you're working with data assets or data products.
