Terms in this definition
- 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.
- EARLIER
Within nested DAX row contexts, lets an inner calculation read a column as it stood in an outer pass; EARLIEST jumps to the outermost. Most people now use variables, which read more clearly.

- Chat playground
Lets you try a deployed chat model in Foundry without writing code, adjusting the system message, temperature, past messages included and maximum response length.
- Memory store
Long-term memory managed for Foundry agents, partitioned by scope, that retains condensed facts such as a user's preferences from one session to the next. It doesn't hold the full conversation history.
