Dashboard sharing in Databriks with Unity Catalog enabled

Hello,

I am planning to deploy a workspace with Unity Catalog enabled. Deploying permissions in one place sounds like a good solution. It can even simplify dataset architecture by masking rows and columns.

As an architect, I’m concerned about the user’s ability to include their own credentials in a shared dashboard (it’s the default behavior). By doing this, the user bypasses the permissions set at the Unity Catalog level. I think it could be really easy for a user to publish a dashboard and push its permissions without understanding the consequences.

So, I would like to disable the ability of users to include credentials in their reports.

It could also be useful to disable, for some users, the sharing dashboard functionality (for maintaining a single source of truth).

I can’t find any documentation talking about that, and it sounds really strange because I see that as a really dangerous pitfall. Am I misunderstanding something?

Regards

When you mention disable the sharing options do you refer for users inside the workspace or is it specific to users that belongs to the account level but not to the workspace itself?
