Keep inherited Databricks permissions visible
A weekly report helps founders spot access that comes from inheritance rather than an obvious direct grant.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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).
