Given the name of a principal in Databricks (I'm using account-level groups) is there an easy way to query or in other way obtain all privileges granted to this principal?
I know I can obtain the information by querying in several of the system.information_schema and will do that if there isn't a simpler option. It just seems like information that should be readily accessible?

Hi @alm, In Databricks, you can manage service principals to handle automated tools, jobs, and applications. These service principals provide API-only access to Databricks resources, enhancing security compared to using regular users or groups.
Letโs dive into the details:
What is a Service Principal?
Managing Service Principals:
Identity Federation (Recommended):
Remember, if your account was created after November 8, 2023, identity federation is enabled by defa...1. So, managing service principals should be straightforward! ๐

This dosn't really address my problem.
I worked around it and found another solution. It just surprised me that this information isn't readily available

How did you solve your problem? By going through the information_schema or system tables? Or something else?

Yes, I used a combination of the information_schema.{object_type}_privileges tables. As the naming varies, i.e. catalog_name in schema_privileges but table_catalog in table_privileges, it's a bit cumbersome but definitely possible.
