Unity catalog - access control to DB and workspace

Lp6440 — Sat, 04 Mar 2023 05:55:58 GMT

After implementing Unity catalog, assuming a user has access to more than one DB. Can that user access all the DB in a single workspace? Can we restrict any specific DB in a workspace?

As things stand, a user can access all the catalogs (which also means all db's under the catalogs) from any workspace that is Unity catalog enabled. For the time being, it's not possible to bind catalogs to a workspace. However, from what I know, this feature is supposed to come out later this year.
