Why can't I see policy input data in the simulation panel?

Last updated: September 9, 2025

Context

When using the policy editor simulation panel, you may notice that while timestamps and dropdowns for sampled policy inputs appear, the actual input data is not visible even when sampling is enabled in the policy.

Answer

The ability to view policy input data in the simulation panel is restricted to root administrators only. This is a security measure to protect sensitive information that may be contained in the policy inputs.

Here's what you need to know:

  • Space administrators can see the timestamps and dropdowns for sampled inputs, but cannot view the actual input data

  • Only root administrators have access to view the complete policy input data

  • The sampling functionality still works as expected - the data is being collected but access to view it is restricted

If you need to debug policy behavior and require access to the input data, please work with your organization's root administrator.
