Jul 1, 2025July 2025: Strengthened YDB security test coverage by delivering a dedicated integration test suite for table grants within the security module. The suite defines grant types for table operations and CDC, and validates access control across core operations including creating, altering, dropping tables, and managing change feeds and topic consumers. This work lays the foundation for automated security validation and faster safe rollout of permission changes.
