Abstract
The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for determining and visualizing effective mask expressions. One example method includes identifying a request for an object in a software application. The request is associated with a particular user. An object hierarchy associated with the requested object is identified. At least one column in the object hierarchy is associated with a mask expression. A current dependent object in the identified object hierarchy is determined. Masking status data for the current dependent object is determined that identifies whether masking is to be applied to the current dependent object when fulfilling the request. The generated masking status data is used to determine which masking expressions are to be applied to which columns in the object hierarchy when responding to the request.
