Wheel permissions issue

adrianhernandez — Fri, 10 Oct 2025 21:00:02 GMT

I get a : org.apache.spark.SparkSecurityException: [INSUFFICIENT_PERMISSIONS] Insufficient privileges: User does not have permission MODIFY,SELECT on any file. SQLSTATE: 42501 at com.databricks.sql.acl.Unauthorized.throwInsufficientPermissionsError(PermissionChecker.scala:360) error when trying to run my wheel. Funny thing is that the folder selected is my default folder as seen in workspace where I do have read/write/execute permissions by default. Not sure what's going on. This is my code :

!python /Workspace/my_folder/ABC/setup.py bdist_wheel

Hi @adrianhernandez ,

The permissions error indicates you need to have the privileges for "any file".

To resolve this, Can you try by adding the corresponding permissions and see if it works:

%sql GRANT SELECT ON ANY FILE TO `username` %sql GRANT MODIFY ON ANY FILE TO `username`

Here's also a KB describing this https://kb.databricks.com/data/user-does-not-have-permission-select-on-any-file

Thanks!

Hello,
What I don't understand is I am referencing objects (notebooks) I created in my own workspace so I have Read/Write permissions to them.
