HI everyone,
I need to restrict the access for admins when they use the table API. It should be read-only!
Is there a way to do and not to restrict every table in SN?
Would appreciate your help!

the only way is to control via table.None READ/CREATE/UPDATE/DELETE ACL
but you should ensure that the ACLs block admin as well.
if it has Admin overrides = true then it won't work
If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

Sorry, mistakenly approved solution. Its working with policies, not with ACLs

Hi @pheiss
Would you be able to give more details how you achieve that?
And question to @Ankur Bawiskar , if we do with ACLs and those are editable by a security_admin role and that role is granted to an admin, then in theory that admin can modify the ACL and bypassing that rule, correct?
I'm questioning this because our auditing team came with some questions like that and if it would be possible to edit a role.

that's correct
any admin if given security_admin role can modify any ACL in platform
