Documented limitation. Metabase can’t keep the user from accessing all the data in the database (via joins), even through a question or model. Row/column security can limit this but that requires a paid version. Instead of Models, use database views as the abstraction layer. Bonus points if you can define views with SECURITY DEFINER like semantics so the base tables can be made inaccessible to the Metabase user.
