Connect Databricks Unity Catalog to PrivaceraCloud

This topic describes how to connect Databricks Unity Catalog to PrivaceraCloud.

Prerequisites

Ensure that the following prerequisites are met before configuring the connector:

  • The value of the Databricks Unity Catalog URL to connect to.

  • The value of the Databricks personal access token.

  • Determine if your personal access token gives you administrative permissions in Databricks Unity Catalog. By default, PrivaceraCloud assumes that the token does not. If it does, you will need to set the field Enable if the personal access token has account admin privileges to true.

  • Look at the BASIC fields in the ??? to see if there are other fields you might want to configure, such as catalog names or table names. You can always configure fields after making the initial connection.
