In a recent project, I worked on PBAC implementation in a Databricks environment. It was a new challenge, but I learned a lot and am excited to share my knowledge with others.
Before we go deep into PBAC, first let’s understand what are the traditional methods for access control in the data warehouse world.
- Role-based access control (RBAC): RBAC is a method of access control that assigns users to roles, and then grants permissions to those roles. For example, a user in the “Sales” role might have permission to access the sales data platform, while a user in the “Marketing” role might have permission to access the marketing data platform.
