What type of security allows you to configure data visibility at the row level?

• A. Record-Level Security In The Record Type
• B. Application-Level Security
• C. Object-Level Security
• D. You Can't Apply This Level Of Security In Appian

Answer: (A)

The concept being tested is controlling who can see which specific rows of data. In Appian, row-level visibility is achieved through Record-Level Security on the Record Type. By configuring security rules at the record type level, you specify which records (rows) a given user or group can view. These rules can reference user attributes, group membership, or fields on each record to filter the visible data automatically when the user accesses the records. For example, you can set a rule so that a user only sees records where the department field matches their own department.

This is why the correct choice is applying Record-Level Security In The Record Type. Application-Level Security would restrict access to the app as a whole, not to individual records. Object-Level Security controls access to the underlying data objects (like a data store or table) rather than per-row visibility within a record type. The idea that such per-row security isn’t available in Appian isn’t accurate, since record-level security on the record type provides precisely that row-level visibility control.
