Trigger

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
Access decisions drift when the underlying grants are not reviewed after communication.
- Improves access traceability
- Shows direct assignments clearly
- Supports governance follow up
