Action
Get Effective Catalog Permissions
Tool to get effective permissions for a securable in Unity Catalog, including inherited permissions from parent securables. Use when you need to understand what privileges are granted to principals through direct assignments or inheritance. Returns privileges conveyed to each principal through the Unity Catalog hierarchy (metastore → catalog → schema → table/view/volume).
Why this helps
Inherited permissions make it difficult to know who truly has access to sensitive reporting data.
- Reveal inherited access paths
- Prioritize unusual privileges
- Reduce manual permission tracing
