BetaVerifiedAdded Sep 22, 2026
Context attributes for attribute-based access control (ABAC) policies are in Beta. You can now write Unity Catalog ABAC policy conditions that target the context of a request, such as which OAuth application is calling ( request.client_id ) and whether the request runs on behalf of a user ( request.is_on_behalf_of ).
