Introducing Cross-Engine ABAC

Databricks introduces Cross-Engine Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC), a feature that extends fine-grained access control policies across multiple query engines and data processing platforms within their ecosystem. This capability enables organizations to enforce consistent, attribute-driven security policies based on user characteristics, data properties, and environmental factors, regardless of which engine executes the query. Cross-Engine ABAC improves security governance and simplifies administration by allowing centralized policy management across Databricks' compute and SQL engines.
