Hello Community,

I have some csv files saved in databricks workspace and want to read them with spark. I make use of the command

df = spark.read.format('csv').load(r'filepath')
 
However, it throws the error.
org.apache.spark.SparkSecurityException: [INSUFFICIENT_PERMISSIONS] Insufficient privileges:
 
I own these files as they reside in my workspace. Could you please help me to understand the cause
and a solution for the error ?
 
Thanks

Hi @chari 

Where you saved the files it in DBFS or an external location such as ADLS, S3 Also, please confirm if you have enabled UC on your workspace or not?

If this a UC enabled workspace, you need to provide the right access.
