Unity Catalog And Lakehouse Governance

Overview

Use this skill when Unity Catalog is the core governance surface for a Databricks platform. It helps agents design governed boundaries across catalogs, schemas, storage locations, shares, and access paths for lakehouse data products.

When to Use

• designing Unity Catalog hierarchy and ownership
• defining external locations, credentials, and storage boundaries
• governing shared Delta tables, views, volumes, or models
• reviewing cross-workspace or multi-team lakehouse governance
• planning secure sharing, publish approvals, or governed consumer access

Do not reduce Unity Catalog to permissions only. It is also a publish, ownership, and operating-boundary decision.
