What type of security allows you to configure data visibility at the row level?

Record-level security in the record type is the correct choice because it specifically allows users to configure data visibility at the row level based on defined criteria. This means that different users can see different sets of records within the same data type, depending on their roles, permissions, or any other custom logic established in the security configuration.

This capability is crucial for organizations that need to manage sensitive data effectively and ensure that users only have access to the information that is relevant and permissible according to their roles. For example, certain users may only need access to records relevant to their department, while others might have access to broader datasets.

Other options do not provide the same granular control over data visibility. Application-level security typically pertains to broader access rights across the entire application rather than specific records. Object-level security allows for security configurations at the object level, such as forms or processes, but does not extend to controlling visibility of individual rows in a dataset. The assertion that such security cannot be applied in Appian misrepresents the platform's capabilities, as row-level security is indeed a feature available for managing data visibility effectively.
