How list all USERs FROM a especific GROUP USING SQL?

Sardenberg — Mon, 04 Mar 2024 14:36:48 GMT

I want to list, using sql editor, all users name from a specific group.
Reading documentation, I only learned how to show the groups or the users, using simples filters, like:

SHOW GROUPS LIKE '*XPTO*';

SHOW GROUPS WITH USER `test@gmail.com`

SHOW USERS LIKE '*gus*'

I would like to create something like:
select users_name from USERS where group_name = "XPTO_GROUP";
or
SHOW USERS WHERE GROUP "xpto_group";

This solution seems to have been answered by an AI.
I need to know how create a SELECT for create this tables: USERS, GROUPS and GROUP_USERS.

# Databricks notebook source from pyspark.sql.functions import lit # COMMAND ---------- df_groups = spark.sql("""SHOW GROUPS""") # COMMAND ---------- df_users = spark.sql("""SHOW USERS""") # COMMAND ---------- result = spark.createDataFrame([], "name: string, directGroup: boolean, user: string") for user in df_users.collect(): df_user_groups = spark.sql(f"""SHOW GROUPS WITH USER `{user.name}`""").withColumn("user", lit(user.name)) result = result.unionAll(df_user_groups) # COMMAND ---------- display(result) # Here you can create temp view and select data

It will work fine if groups added to workspace.

I don't think it's possible yet. Unfortunately, I look in all system tables and command and didn't found this kind of things.

But with a Python notebook, like what did the AI, you can reconstruct it:

first you list all the users with

SHOW USERS

then you loop for all users to get its groups with:

SHOW GROUPS WITH USER `{user.name}`

And you can reconstruct the list of users in each groups like that, and put it in a delta table with a create table.

With this table you can easily list all users in a specific group in a SQL request. You "just" need to run your python notebook regularly to update your user-group table.

Due to the special type of command that this is, you can't (to my knowledge) do that kind of thing directly in SQL, (can't "SELECT * FROM SHOW ..." for example), and there is no specific command for that, so it's a little laborious, especially if you have a lot of users and groups.
