🔍

Known Causes

3 known causes
⚠️
Excessive Policy Application
Too many fine-grained access control (FGAC) policies are applied to the same table or view. This exceeds the maximum allowed number of policies per object.
⚠️
Complex Security Requirements
The data security needs require a large number of distinct policies to enforce granular access control. This often happens in environments with strict compliance needs.
⚠️
Legacy Policy Design
Older database designs may have accumulated redundant or overlapping policies over time. These policies contribute to the limit without adding significant value.
