As we all know, the main method of cost attribution for serverless compute is with budget (sometimes called usage) policies (Public Preview). This is a new paradigm compared with the tagging of both classic compute and serverless SQL warehouses.The J...
Thank you for your reply! This adds clarity to my confusion regarding serverless tagging. This information would have helped a lot if it was included in the official documentation. You should considering sending the technical documentation team your ...

Hi everyone,I’m curious if anyone has successfully implemented Databricks Genie (chat/agent) for production use.Currently, we’ve enabled a few Genie instances for power users who are comfortable working with data outside of the data team. However, we...
Hi Julie, thanks for sharing the screenshot. There are a few things we'd recommend to customers when they are starting out on a Genie journey, we defintiely see enterprises creating Genie spaces at scale but it needs some thought and guardrails. Some...
I have a Python-based FastAPI application with a React frontend, which I would like to deploy to Databricks apps. I'm able to do it, but having trouble with file system access. In addition to database access, my application relies on some file operat...
In the end, I just added the wheel to the app's source code and installed from there. Not ideal, but the module is small and checking the wheel into git was the lesser issue.This workaround runs fine for a few months now. My build pipeline takes care...
How is Unity Catalog managed in real time at an enterprise scale, including workspace-level restrictions, privilege-based ACLs, row- and column-level security, ABAC, and tag-driven governance, and which languages or tools are used to manage the entir...
Thank you... Which roles ( workspace admin or Metastore Admin) are recommended to securely create and manage Unity Catalog objects (Storage Credentials, External Locations, Catalogs, Schemas, and Delta Sharing)?” and why ?

The company that I work for has DDL where the column names/table names are not always that intuitive. It would be great to see the "Title" clause such that is used in ANSI SQL, added to the DDL statement so that the logical name can come through to t...
Hi Sandy, the best way of getting this as a feature request is to go through your account team, that way the weight of your account is behind the feature request and it's more likely to be prioritised. I've had a look internally and I can't find this...
In the Databricks one demo, and even in official website I seehttps://www.databricks.com/blog/introducing-databricks-one"Domains", how to enable it ? Or add "Domain" to data?
Hey, I've seen that solution is already available, thanks for remindind.
I am new to Databricks and trying to understand the concepts first, before getting into technical deepdive. I am a bit confused between Role Based Access Control and Unity Catalog. Both feature controls access to the data. Can someone provide me the ...
I have created custom tags on a column and plan to mask columns with tags via policy. I am facing 2 issues 1. Cant see the custom tag under - Mask column if it has specific tag. 2. If I type my custom tag get error when creating policy Policy creat...
Hi, to use a tag in a tag policy it needs to be a governed tag rather than just a general tag. IF you just create it using Set tags UC sees it as a informational tag rather than a governed tag. If you use a CREATE tag statement to create it then you'...

I have granted table level permissions in Unity Catalog for users but users are still facing access issues when PowerBI reports are using these tables. Is this expected or I am missing some configuration setting?
Hi @Addyy, @balajij8 is right. For Power BI (via a SQL warehouse), users need a full chain of Unity Catalog + warehouse permissions. If you’ve only granted SELECT at the table level to individual users, but not USE CATALOG/USE SCHEMA on the hierarchy...
HelloLooking for guidance to keep data masked if it needs to link with unmasked data, or analysis requires a combination of masked and unmasked data. How have you tackle this challenge?Thank you.
Thank you for responding. It definitely gives us some thought of how far to extend "data mesh" principles in the physical data layer.
