What it does
“Unity Catalog governance, access control, and observability. Use to grant or revoke access (GRANT/REVOKE), reason about the privilege model and ownership, set up row-level security and column masks, create external locations and storage credentials, define catalogs/schemas/tables/volumes, answer "who can read this table", and query system tables (audit, lineage, billing) or work with volume files in /Volumes/.”
Generated summary from the skill's own text
This skill guides agents to manage Databricks Unity Catalog governance, including granting and revoking access via GRANT/REVOKE commands, setting up row-level security and column masks, creating catalogs/schemas/tables/volumes, and querying system tables for audit logs, lineage, and billing data. It covers the privilege model, external locations, storage credentials, and volume file operations using the Databricks CLI and SQL.
When to use it
- Managing access control and permission hierarchies in Databricks
- Setting up row filters, column masks, and fine-grained access policies
- Querying audit logs, table lineage, and billing data from system tables
- Working with external locations, storage credentials, and volume files
When not to
- For creating metric views or Iceberg REST Catalog credentials, use related skills instead
- When exploring catalogs and tables without governance changes, prefer databricks-core
