Study Notes
Managing Permissions in Databricks SQL
- Begin by navigating to the Databricks SQL Workspace and ensure the SQL warehouse is operational.
- Access the SQL editor from the left sidebar to create a new database named "HR DB."
- Inside "HR DB," set up a table called "employees" with columns: ID, name, salary, and city.
- Insert data into the "employees" table and create a view specifically for employees residing in Paris.
Granting Permissions
- Configure permissions to allow the HR Team to read, modify data, access metadata, and create new database objects.
- Granting privileges requires the USAGE privilege for users to interact with database objects.
- Use a specific SQL command to grant access, allowing actions to be performed by selecting and running the command.
Individual User Permissions
- Individual users can be assigned specific privileges, such as granting read access on views to users outside the HR team.
Reviewing Permissions
- Use the SHOW GRANTS command to review assigned permissions for the HR team and verify ownership of the database.
- Confirm users like Adam have SELECT privilege on views inherited from the database.
Data Explorer Overview
- The Data Explorer tool allows for easier navigation and management of databases, tables, and views.
- Access the Data Explorer via the Data tab on the left sidebar to explore the schema, metadata, and history of data objects.
- Review the Permissions tab to see current permissions and revoke any as necessary.
- Change database ownership from an individual to a group, such as the admin group.
Granting Permissions to All Users
- Grant all users the ability to review metadata by selecting the appropriate privileges and groups in the Data Explorer.
- Assign the SELECT privilege to all users for querying tables within the Data Explorer.
Query History
- All SQL queries executed within Databricks SQL, including those from the Data Explorer, can be viewed in the Query History section of the left sidebar.
- The Query History provides a comprehensive record of all executed commands for transparency and tracking purposes.
Summary
- Databricks SQL offers robust features for managing permissions across databases, tables, and views.
- The combination of SQL commands and the Data Explorer provides flexibility in access control and data management.
