# Bigtable Authorized View

A Bigtable Authorized View is a secure, read‑only subset of a Bigtable table that exposes only selected rows and columns. It lets you share specific data with applications or teams without giving access to the full table. Authorized views help enforce fine‑grained access control, simplify data sharing, and reduce the need to manage multiple tables for different access patterns.
