CREDENTIAL_PRIVILEGES

Applies to: check marked yes Databricks Runtime 15.4 and above

INFORMATION_SCHEMA.CREDENTIAL_PRIVILEGES lists principals that have privileges on a credential.

This is an extension to the SQL Standard Information Schema.

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.
