Hello Databricks Community,
I'm reaching out with a query regarding access control in the hive_metastore. I've encountered behavior that I'd like to understand better and potentially address.
To illustrate the situation:
- I've set up three users for testing purposes: admin, dataengineer1, and dataanalyst1.
- The admin user granted permissions to dataengineer1 for three specific tables: circuits, country_regions, and results.
Case 1: When using SQL Warehouse (as seen in the screenshot, labeled as serverless-sql-wh) or a Cluster with shared Access mode, dataengineer1 can only view the tables they have permissions for. This is the expected behavior.
Case 2: However, when a Single User Access mode cluster is activated (in the screenshot, labeled as dataengineer1@d...), dataengineer1 can view all schemas and tables. This is not the desired behavior.
I'm hoping to find a solution that ensures even in Single User Access Mode, users can only access Schemas and Tables for which they have permission.
Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I value the expertise of this community and look forward to your responses.
Thank you
