# Masking Policies Associations

The **Masking Policies Associations** provides a centralized view of the associations between masking policies and columns. It helps administrators identify where masking policies are applied, understand the masking scheme used for each association, and identify the roles and users authorized to view unmasked data.

It displays masking policy associations for both table columns and file columns in a standard list view. Administrators can use this view to review masking policy usage across columns without navigating to individual data objects.

The **Masking Policies Associations** tab is available only to users with the default admin role (oe.role.admin). Users without this role cannot view or access the tab.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ovaledge.com/release8.2/administration/security/masking-policies-associations.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
