Unity Catalog

Guidance for Unity Catalog governance — access control, the privilege model, external locations, securable DDL, and fine-grained access — plus system tables and volume file operations.

Before running databricks CLI commands, confirm the CLI and the subcommand exist. Run databricks --version — this skill assumes the unified CLI (≥ v1.0.0). Several subcommands shown here (experimental aitools, system-schemas, external-lineage, grants) vary by version or workspace availability; if one is missing or rejects a flag, fall back to the SQL form or the Python SDK rather than guessing. Each reference notes its own version floor where relevant.
