External Delta clients get access to UC managed tables by default in compliance-profile workspaces
From Databricks documentation: What's coming (AWS)
Starting on or after December 10, 2026, eligible workspaces with the compliance security profile will have external access to Unity Catalog managed Delta tables on by default, so supported external Delta clients can create, read and write them. Creating and writing these tables from outside requires catalog commits. Access is still governed by the metastore's external data access settings and by Unity Catalog privileges.
