Make access investigations easier to hand off
An access question in a private team can prompt a permissions lookup that includes grants inherited across the Unity Catalog hierarchy.
Trigger
Private Team Comment Created
Fires when a new comment is posted on an issue in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
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
Access questions can become long threads when direct and inherited permissions are hard to inspect together.
- Retrieve effective permissions for a named securable.
- Include inherited permission context in the investigation.
- Give the next owner a clearer access snapshot.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Databricks to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis to retrieve effective Unity Catalog permissions when a private-team comment asks about access.
- 3Choose the Linear Private Team Comment Created trigger and select a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one real private-team comment naming the securable.
Questions about this workflow
