We would like to add some scalar SQL functions to our Genie Agents, for context that can't be provided via other mechanisms. In testing this, we have discovered that scalar functions are not supported, although the documentation explicitly states tha...

Dear community,We follow the environment-isolation guidance in [1], relying on between-workspace and within-workspace separation (Unity Catalog, catalog-workspace bindings, ACLs). In our case we have different groups of users each assigned to their o...

Dear community,According to [1] and other sources, all workspace users are assigned `CAN_CREATE` on lakebase projects, and this permission "can't be revoked".The problem is that such a project comes with by default a 8 - 16 CU lakebase compute instan...

Thank you very much @Ashwin_DSA for confirming my findings that there's currently no way to limit the picker to current workspace users.For the record:We have requested via our Azure support channels that our request for such a feature be escalated, ...

Any movement on this topic?We too need to restrict sharing, in our case ideally with only other users of the same workspace. As it stands, any user who creates a dashboard can share that dashboard with any account user, across all of our workspaces. ...

Thank you very much for also looking into this.I've submitted this as feedback via the new Lakebase Postgres web-ui. It doesn't look like I can link to that submitted feedback here. Let's hope for the best.
