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
Inherited access can make an apparently simple permissions question difficult to answer quickly.
- See privileges conveyed through the Unity Catalog hierarchy.
- Answer access questions with the object's inheritance context.
- Avoid manually tracing permissions across parent objects.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Databricks to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations or ask Notis conversationally to set it up.
- 3Use one plain-language instruction to retrieve effective permissions for the Unity Catalog object named in a Telegram message and summarize the result.
- 4Select Telegram New Message Received as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a catalog, schema, or table you are authorized to inspect.
Questions about this workflow
How is this different from a direct grants check?
Effective permissions include access inherited from parent securables, while direct grants show only assignments on the object itself.
Can it inspect a table?
Yes, when the Databricks connection has the required access to its parent catalog and schema.
