# Databricks Unity Catalog

Use Databricks’ [access request destinations](https://docs.databricks.com/aws/en/data-governance/unity-catalog/manage-privileges/access-request-destinations) to configure the access request links with data in Databricks and provide data consumers with a button to request access. You may also opt to add the access request links to data object descriptions.

## Requirements

* [Databricks Unity Catalog connection registered in Immuta](/saas/configuration/integrations/databricks/databricks-unity-catalog/how-to-guides/connect-unity-catalog.md)
* Databricks user with **at least one** of the following privileges on all the data objects you want to add access request links to:
  * The object owner
  * `MANAGE` privilege on the object
  * Metastore admin

## Set up access request links

1. In Databricks, grant your data consumers the `BROWSE` privilege for any data you want them to be able to request access for.
   1. You must grant `BROWSE` on the catalog to allow users to request access to any data in the catalog: `GRANT BROWSE ON CATALOG {catalog name} TO account users;`
2. Follow the Databricks documentation to [Configure access request destinations](https://docs.databricks.com/aws/en/data-governance/unity-catalog/manage-privileges/access-request-destinations#configure-access-request-destinations-on-an-object) for every data object you want data consumers to be able to request access for. Insert the [access request link](/saas/request/configure/how-to-guides/configure-access-request-links.md#access-request-links) for each asset in the **Redirect URL** field.

{% hint style="info" %}
After completing the initial setup, add configuring the access request links to your data engineering pipelines.
{% endhint %}

## Databricks Unity Catalog consideration

Databricks Unity Catalog does not have a dedicated location for the masking exception request button, so [`requestType` should not be included in the access request link](/saas/request/configure/how-to-guides/configure-access-request-links.md#request-type). This way, data consumers can re-request access to the same object through the same **Request access** button and choose a masking exception instead of, or in addition to, an access request.
