Secrets in Unity Catalog is GA

GAVerifiedAdded Sep 22, 2026

Secrets in Unity Catalog is now generally available. You can store, govern, and access secrets as securable objects in Unity Catalog. A Unity Catalog secret uses the three-level namespace ( catalog.schema.secret ) and is governed by Unity Catalog privileges, so you can apply the same access controls and auditing that you use for other data assets.

Topics: Governance, Security, Observability
