Unity Catalog as data catalog

Palkers
New Contributor III

Basically I want to use Unity Catalog alone ( without integration with purview or other tools ) as data catalog to democratize data for all data workers.

Is it possible to setup access to unity catalog the way, anybody can search / browse metadata in catalogs like datasets / comments / check lineage

but without giving SELECT role on catalog and tables

USE_CATALOG role is not giving such privilidge, I only see metadata I have SELECT access, and do not see other CATALOGs

@Palkers if i understood your question correctly you are looking to view all catalogs data, to view or browse complete metadata you should be admin of your metastore. at least you need to have select and use_catatlog on required catalogs that you want to access
