Schema-level HTTP connections in Databricks Unity Catalog are now GA
Databricks has made schema-level HTTP connections in Unity Catalog generally available, allowing creation of connections within a schema rather than only at the metastore level. This enhancement enables connections to use the three-level namespace (catalog.schema.connection) and inherit Unity Catalog privileges from their parent schema. As a result, users can apply existing access controls and auditing mechanisms to these connections, aligning them with other data assets. Metastore-level HTTP connections will remain in Public Preview.

- General availability of schema-level HTTP connections
HTTP connections in Unity Catalog are now generally available at the schema level, allowing connections to be created inside a schema. These connections utilize the three-level namespace and inherit Unity Catalog privileges from their parent schema. This change provides consistent access controls and auditing for connections, similar to other data assets within Unity Catalog.
