Identity attributes entered beta for Unity Catalog ABAC policies
From REbricked
Identity attributes entered beta in Databricks. The entry describes a fixed set of nine user attributes that Databricks stores on account users and syncs from the identity provider: title, userType, locality, region, country, costCenter, organization, division, department. Readers working with Unity Catalog ABAC policies should know these account-level attributes exist, but the item describes them as beta.
ABAC policy examples may start using synced identity attributes instead of only groups or object metadata.
