How to let Business Users edit tables in Databricks

Hi Community!

I have the requirement that business users shall be able to edit/update tables in Unity Catalog, e.g. master data records, mapping tables. I also want thes actions to be logged for auditing/troubleshooting.

Is there any simple solution to do this in Databricks that fits for non-technical people?

We do have a few partners that offer solutions in this space (e.g. Retool).  Recently, Sigma added support for their InputTable feature which was designed for this use case: https://www.sigmacomputing.com/blog/bring-your-own-data-to-databricks-with-sigma-input-tables

My own ideas:

- share a notebook with business users to update tables (risky)

- create a low-code app with write permission via sql endpoint

- file-based interface for table changes (ugly)

Any other ideas on existing market solutions for this would be really appreciated.
