Access requests in Unity Catalog

Request for access (RFA) lets users ask for privileges on Unity Catalog objects from anywhere in Databricks. Requests are routed to destinations set on the object or inherited from the metastore, such as email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, a webhook or an internal access management system, with the owner's email as a fallback, and requesters, reviewers and metastore admins track them from the Requests page in Catalog Explorer. Public Preview from August 11, 2025, metastore-level destinations added on June 22, 2026, and generally available since October 28, 2026.

Statuses and dates come from public Databricks sources only. We do not see the private roadmap Databricks shares with customers. If something looks wrong, report a correction.
