MQL Formula Syntax For User and Role Row-Level Constraints

The MQL Formula syntax for defining a user or role row constraint is:

[table.column] = "row"

The table and column are defined as part of a metadata business model. Here is an example that isolates access to data from the Sales department:

[BT_OFFICE.BC_DEPARTMENT]="Sales"

It's also possible to give or deny access to an entire role, or a single user, by selecting that user or role, then using a boolean for a constraint:

TRUE()

Or:

FALSE()
