Using Databricks Native Public Group

This property controls whether PolicySync should use the native public group in Databricks for access grants.

  • True (Default): Grants access to all users via the Databricks public group.
  • False: Disables the public group, and all access must be explicitly assigned to specific users or groups. However, Privacera groups with specified prefixes will still be granted access.

  1. SSH to the instance where Privacera Manager is installed.

  2. Run the following command to open the .yml file to be edited.

    If you have multiple connectors, then replace instance1 with the appropriate connector instance name.

    Bash
    1
    vi ~/privacera/privacera-manager/config/custom-vars/connectors/databricks-unity-catalog/instance1/vars.connector.databricks.unity.catalog.yml

  3. Set the following property to control whether PolicySync should use the native public group in Databricks for access grants.

    Bash

    CONNECTOR_DATABRICKS_UNITY_CATALOG_USE_NATIVE_PUBLIC_GROUP: "true"

  4. Once the properties are configured, run the following commands to update your Privacera Manager platform instance:
