Key Takeaways

Demonstrates Unity Catalog fine-grained access controls on external engines using Databricks and Apache Spark

Original Description

See how Unity Catalog enforces row filters and column masks identically, whether you're querying from Databricks or from open-source Apache Spark running on a VM outside your workspace. This demo walks through defining ABAC policies once in UC, verifying enforcement on Databricks serverless SQL, then running the same query from OSS Delta-Spark on EC2 to show identical results. Finally, we demonstrate external engines creating and writing to managed tables with catalog-managed commits, fully governed and automatically optimized.
