# Databricks Unity Catalog

Set up access request links in 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.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://documentation.immuta.com/saas/request/configure/how-to-guides/configure-access-request-links/databricks-unity-catalog.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
