Unable to provide access in unity catalog using SQL commands

I am trying to provide access in unity catalog using the SQL commands.

I am following the below documentation:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/databricks/data-governance/unity-catalog/manage-privileges/

It suggests to create SQL commands in below format:

GRANT <privilege-type> ON <securable-type> <securable-name> TO <principal>

I have prepared following 3 commnads using above standard but all of them are failing.

Command -> GRANT USE CATALOG ON CATALOG uda_dev TO <my user group>
Error -> [PARSE_SYNTAX_ERROR] Syntax error at or near 'USE'. SQLSTATE: 42601

Command -> GRANT USE SCHEMA ON CATALOG uda_dev TO <my user group>
Error -> [PARSE_SYNTAX_ERROR] Syntax error at or near 'USE'. SQLSTATE: 42601

Command -> GRANT SELECT ON CATALOG uda_dev TO <my user group>
Error -> [PARSE_SYNTAX_ERROR] Syntax error at or near 'CATALOG': missing 'SHARE'. SQLSTATE: 42601

I believe my syntax is correct only. because the USE CATALOG, USE SCHEMA and SELECT are valid privilege type on a catalog as shown below:

I tried running these commands from SQL editor and notebook both.
I am getting the same issue.

My main goal is to provide table read access for all the tables in a particular schema to a user group.
I request to please help how to prepare the SQL commands.

Try this. For some reason the quotes are crazy when using these commands. 

GRANT USAGE ON CATALOG `uda_dev` TO `your-group`
 
GRANT SELECT ON SCHEMA uda_dev.default TO `your-group` (without quotes for the schema)
