Update Catalog Grants
Tool to update permissions for Unity Catalog securables by adding or removing privileges for principals. Use when you need to grant or revoke permissions on catalogs, schemas, tables, or other Unity Catalog objects. Only metastore admins, object owners, users with MANAGE privilege, or parent catalog/schema owners can update permissions.
Why this helps
Access changes are often disconnected from campaign or content milestones, leaving permissions stale.
- Tie access changes to real milestones
- Apply explicit grant instructions
- Reduce stale permissions
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your YouTube and Databricks accounts once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation named Activity catalog grant update.
- 3Tell Notis to add or remove the specified privileges for the named principals and Unity Catalog securable.
- 4Choose New YouTube Activity as the trigger and select where reports should go.
- 5Test it with one real activity event.
Questions about this workflow
Can this replace all existing grants?
The update applies the additions or removals you specify; clarify the intended privilege changes in your instruction.
What if the activity lacks enough context?
Notis can report that required principal, securable, or privilege details were not supplied.
