The gate is closed until you prove you can open it. That’s the premise behind Ingress Resources Query-Level Approval—a precise control mechanism that decides exactly which resource requests pass through and which are denied. No guesswork. No blanket permissions. Only rules that match the query itself.
Query-level approval brings structure to resource access in complex systems. Instead of approving by endpoint or user role alone, the system inspects the incoming request at the data layer. Every query is checked for fields, filters, and limits before it touches the resource. This means approval can hinge on the requested columns, row conditions, or the scope of aggregation.
An Ingress Resources configuration defines the resource types, request parameters, and conditions for access. To implement query-level approval, you combine ingress rules with an approval service that evaluates each request. Policies can be dynamic, using stored criteria or computed logic. This lets teams enforce strict, granular controls without slowing down the overall pipeline.
