Configure a Databricks Unity Catalog Integration

Immuta’s integration with Unity Catalog allows you to manage multiple Databricks workspaces through Unity Catalog while protecting your data with Immuta policies. Instead of manually creating UDFs or granting access to each table in Databricks, you can author your policies in Immuta and have Immuta manage and enforce Unity Catalog access-control policies on your data in Databricks clusters or SQL warehouses.

Use the /integrations endpoint to

• configure a Databricks Unity Catalog integration

• get a Databricks Unity Catalog integration

• get all integrations

• update a Databricks Unity Catalog integration

• delete a Databricks Unity Catalog integration

Requirements

• APPLICATION_ADMIN Immuta permission

• A service principal with the following privileges is required for Immuta to manage permissions on objects in the Unity Catalog metastore:

  • CREATE CATALOG on the Unity Catalog metastore to create an Immuta-owned catalog and tables

  • OWNERSHIP on the Immuta catalog you configure

  • USE CATALOG and USE SCHEMA on all catalogs and schemas with tables managed by Immuta

  • SELECT and MODIFY on all tables in the metastore managed my Immuta

  • Native query audit:

    • USE CATALOG on the system catalog for native query audit

    • USE SCHEMA on the system.access schema for native query audit

    • SELECT on the following system tables for native query audit:

      • system.access.audit

      • system.access.table_lineage

      • system.access.column_lineage

• Authentication:

  • Access token authentication: If using this method, generate a personal access token for the service principal that Immuta will use to manage policies in Unity Catalog. This service principal must have the privileges listed above for the metastore associated with the Databricks workspace.

  • OAuth machine-to-machine (M2M) authentication: If using this method, follow Databricks documentation to create a client secret for the Immuta service principal. This service principal must have the privileges listed above for the metastore associated with the Databricks workspace.

Prerequisite

Enable Databricks Unity Catalog on the Immuta app settings page:

1. Click the App Settings icon in the left sidebar.

2. Scroll to the Global Integrations Settings section and check the Enable Databricks Unity Catalog support in Immuta checkbox.

Configure the integration

You have two options for configuring your Databricks Unity Catalog integration:

• Automatic setup: When performing an automatic setup, the Databricks personal access token you configure below must be attached to an account with these Databricks permissions for the metastore associated with the specified Databricks workspace. Immuta creates the catalogs, schemas, tables, and functions using the integration's configured personal access token.

• Manual setup: Run the Immuta script in Databricks yourself to create the catalog. You can also modify the script to customize your storage location for tables, schemas, or catalogs. The user running the script needs to have the CREATE CATALOG permission on the workspace metastore. The Databricks personal access token you configure must be attached to an account with the Databricks permissions listed in the requirements section.

Automatic setup

Copy the request example, and replace the values with your own as directed to configure the integration settings. The examples provided use JSON format, but the request also accepts YAML.

See the config object description for parameter definitions, value types, and additional configuration options.

      "authenticationType": "token",
      "token": "REDACTED",
      "catalog": "immuta"
    }
    }'

1. Replace the Immuta URL and API key with your own.

2. Change the config values to your own, where

   • workspaceUrl is your Databricks workspace URL.

   • httpPath is the HTTP path of your Databricks cluster or SQL warehouse.

   • token is the Databricks personal access token. This is the access token for the Immuta service principal.

   • catalog is the name of the Databricks catalog Immuta will create to store internal entitlements and other user data specific to Immuta. This catalog will only be readable for the Immuta service principal and should not be granted to other users. The catalog name may only contain letters, numbers, and underscores and cannot start with a number.

Update an integration configuration

You have two options for updating your integration. Follow the steps that match your initial configuration of autoBootstrap:

• automatic update (autoBootstrap is true)

• manual update (autoBootstrap is false)

Automatic update

Copy the request example, and replace the values with your own as directed to configure the integration settings. The examples provided use JSON format, but the request also accepts YAML.

See the config object description for parameter definitions, value types, and additional configuration options.

See the config object description for parameter definitions, value types, and additional configuration options.

curl -X 'PUT' \
    'https://www.organization.immuta.com/integrations/{id}' \
    -H 'accept: application/json' \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -H 'Authorization: 846e9e43c86a4ct1be14290d95127d13f' \
