Search Capabilities in Unity Catalog

santos_saenz — Tue, 10 Dec 2024 14:16:26 GMT

I am exploring the search capabilities available in Unity Catalog. Specifically, I want to know if it is possible for a user to discover the existence of a table and its owner via search, even if they don't have access to the table's data. This feature would be very useful for enabling users to identify data assets and their owners, so they can request access as needed.

I did a quick check. For tables that I don't have access I can still see the metadata (owner)

I just found out that with the BROWSE privilege on the catalog this can be done
