feature

Databricks Unity Catalog now includes ABAC DENY policies in Beta, enhancing granular access control. These policies explicitly deny the MANAGE ACCESS CONTROL privilege, preventing specified principals, including object owners, from performing access-management operations. This feature is significant for organizations requiring stricter governance, as DENY policies always take precedence over any existing grants.
