Fine-Grained Access Control for Unstructured Data With Volume Permissions

Unstructured data — images, documents, videos and more — is growing in importance with AI and ML. Yet managing access control at scale is challenging. Unity Catalog Volumes offer a secure foundation, but access control has remained volume-level until now. This session introduces Volume Path Permissions, a new feature enabling fine-grained access within volumes. Expanding on Unity Catalog’s robust permission model, they let you grant privileges to users and groups based on path prefixes. We’ll cover the governance model, share examples and demonstrate how to enforce least-privilege access. By the end, you’ll know how to manage file-level access with Unity Catalog’s flexibility and control.
