VOLUME_PRIVILEGES

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

INFORMATION_SCHEMA.VOLUME_PRIVILEGES lists principals that have privileges on a volume in a catalog schema.

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.
