Dynamic data masking system views - Amazon Redshift
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Amazon Redshift will no longer support the creation of new Python UDFs starting November 1, 2025. If you would like to use Python UDFs, create the UDFs prior to that date. Existing Python UDFs will continue to function as normal. For more information, see the blog post .

Dynamic data masking system views

Superusers, users with the sys:operator role, and users with the ACCESS SYSTEM TABLE permission can access the following DDM-related system views.

  • SVV_MASKING_POLICY

    Use SVV_MASKING_POLICY to view all masking policies created on the cluster or workgroup.

  • SVV_ATTACHED_MASKING_POLICY

    Use SVV_ATTACHED_MASKING_POLICY to view all the relations and users or roles with policies attached on the currently connected database.

  • SYS_APPLIED_MASKING_POLICY_LOG

    Use SYS_APPLIED_MASKING_POLICY_LOG to trace the application of masking policies on queries that reference DDM-protected relations.

Following are some examples of the information that you can find using system views.

--Select all policies associated with specific users, as opposed to roles
SELECT policy_name,
       schema_name,
       table_name,
       grantee
