Secrets in Unity Catalog (Public Preview)

PreviewJul 10, 2026VerifiedAdded Sep 22, 2026

You can now 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. See Secrets in Unity Catalog .
