⚠ Limitations for Access Management Features¢

  • Row Filter and Masking: Due to limitations in Databricks Unity Catalog, these features are currently limited to tables and are not supported for views.
  • Functions Attached to Tables: If functions are attached to tables, there may be issues when accessing views created on those tables.
  • Retrieval Dependency: The retrieval of access audits depends on the Databricks configuration and may be subject to delays in certain scenarios.

  1. Note: Column access control, native masking, and native row-level filtering are not supported for Databricks Unity Catalog views. ↩↩↩
