SET MASKin anALTER TABLEstatement, or to many tables at once through an ABAC policy. - CONTROL
Granting this on a securable gives all other permissions on it too, making it the most powerful SQL permission. At database scope that includes UNMASK and ALTER ANY MASK. Warehouse access through the Admin, Member or Contributor workspace roles carries it.

input_fidelity. Text-to-image generation, by contrast, takes no account of an original image. - Inpainting
