# Viewing data filters
<a name="view-data-filters"></a>

You can use the Lake Formation console, AWS CLI, or the Lake Formation API to view data filters. 

To view data filters, you must be a Data Lake administrator or have the required permissions on the data filters.

------
#### [ Console ]

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Lake Formation console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/lakeformation/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/lakeformation/).

1. In the navigation pane, under **Data catalog**, choose **Data filters**.

   The page displays the data filters you have access to.  
![\[The Data filters page displays the available data filters with the following columns: Filter name, Table, Database, and Table catalog ID. The screenshot shows a single data filter with the following values: test-df, cloudtrailtest_cloudtrail, lakeformation_cloudtrail, redacted account ID. Above the table there are four buttons (from left to right): Refresh/reload, View (grayed out), Delete (grayed out), and "Create new filter". There is also a search field, which is empty.\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lake-formation/latest/dg/images/list-data-filters.jpg)

1. To view the data filter details, choose the data filter, and then choose View. A new window appears with the data filter detailed information.  
![\[The "View data filter" window shows additional information about the selected data filter. The information displayed includes the name, database, table, column-level access setting, row filter expression, and the columns.\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lake-formation/latest/dg/images/list-data-filters-details.jpg)

#### [ AWS CLI ]

Enter a `list-data-cells-filter` command and specify a table resource.

The following example lists the data filters for the `cloudtrailtest_cloudtrail` table.

```
aws lakeformation list-data-cells-filter --table '{ "CatalogId":"123456789012", 
"DatabaseName":"lakeformation_cloudtrail", "Name":"cloudtrailtest_cloudtrail"}'
```

------
#### [ API/SDK ]

Use the `ListDataCellsFilter` API and specify a table resource.

The following example uses Python to list the first 20 data filters for the `myTable` table.

```
response = client.list_data_cells_filter(
    Table = {
        'CatalogId': '111122223333',
        'DatabaseName': 'mydb',
        'Name': 'myTable'
    },
    MaxResults=20
)
```
