Notis

Carry an approved access change into Unity Catalog

Turn a clearly specified project access change into a Databricks grants update and report what changed.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Update Catalog Grants

Adds or removes permissions on data catalog objects.

Why this helps

Approved access work can be delayed when someone must manually translate a project decision into a separate permissions update.

  • Reduce manual translation of approved access changes.
  • Keep the request and update outcome connected through a run report.
  • Specify which principals, privileges, and securables are in scope.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Agiled and Databricks in the Notis portal once.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
  • 3Tell Notis to apply only the add or remove privilege changes explicitly stated in the approved request for its named principals and Unity Catalog securables.
  • 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real approved change and verify the resulting grants.

Questions about this workflow

What must an access request specify?

It must clearly name the Unity Catalog securable, the principal, and the privileges to add or remove. Instruct Notis to report missing or ambiguous details rather than infer them.

Can this workflow review permissions instead of changing them?

This workflow applies the explicitly requested grant changes. For a read-only review, use a permissions retrieval workflow instead.
