CONNECTION_PRIVILEGES

Applies to: Databricks SQL Databricks Runtime 13.3 LTS and above Unity Catalog only

INFORMATION_SCHEMA.CONNECTION_PRIVILEGES lists principals that have privileges on a connection.

Note

Currently, users with the MANAGE privilege on an object cannot view all grants for that object in the INFORMATION_SCHEMA. Instead, the INFORMATION_SCHEMA only shows grants their own grants on the object. This behavior will be corrected in the future.

Users with MANAGE privilege can view all grants on an object using SQL commands or Catalog Explorer. See Manage privileges in Unity Catalog.
