Does the search optimization service support tables with masking policies and row access policies?

• A. No
• B. Yes in Preview for Enterprise or Above
• C. Yes for all Editions
• D. Only with Special Enablement

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is how feature availability for the Search Optimization Service is controlled by your Snowflake edition and preview status, especially when governance features like masking policies and row access policies are in play. The correct understanding is that this capability exists, but only in public preview for Enterprise or above. That means you can try it if your account is on Enterprise or higher and enrolled in the preview, but it isn’t generally available to all editions or to GA yet. So when you see this option, it reflects that the feature is technically supported in that Preview scope, not universally across all editions.
