See direct Databricks grants before the discussion
Go into an access review with the direct grant list ready. Notis can use a calendar event as the cue to retrieve grants for the securable named in your instruction.
Trigger
Calendar Event Sync
Polling trigger that returns full event data including details, attendees, and metadata. For real-time notifications with basic info, use Calendar Event Changes (webhook).
Action
Get Catalog Grants
Tool to get permissions (grants) for a securable in Unity Catalog without inherited permissions. Use when you need to see direct privilege assignments on a catalog or other securable object. Returns only privileges directly assigned to principals, excluding inherited permissions from parent securables. For inherited permissions, use the get-effective endpoint instead.
Why this helps
Finding direct access assignments across systems just before a meeting adds avoidable context switching.
- Retrieve direct grants ahead of a scheduled discussion.
- Reduce manual console checks before the meeting.
- Send the run report to a channel that is easy to find.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Calendar and Databricks once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3In one instruction, identify the meeting context and the Unity Catalog securable whose direct grants to retrieve.
- 4Pick Calendar Event Sync as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real meeting and verify the returned grants.
Questions about this workflow
Does Get Catalog Grants include inherited permissions?
No. It returns direct privilege assignments only. Use the effective permissions action when inherited access is part of the review.
Does the calendar event itself identify the securable?
The sync trigger returns full event data, but it may not contain the Databricks object name. Specify the securable in your instruction or event details.
