Do you have users that wear multiple hats over a day? Like working with data from various customers and hoping they don’t inadvertently aggregate data? Or are they working on sensitive datasets such as clinical trials that should not be combined, or are data sets that are subject to regulations? We have a solution! In this session, we will present a new capability that allows users wearing multiple hats to switch roles in the Databricks workspace to work exclusively on a dedicated project, data of a particular client or clinical trial. When switching to a particular role, the workspace adapts in such a way that only workspace objects and UC data of that particular role are accessible. We will also showcase the administrative experience of setting up exclusive access using groups and UC permissions.

Managing authentication effectively is key to securing your data platform. In this session, we’ll explore best practices from Databricks for overcoming authentication challenges, including token visibility, MFA/SSO, CI/CD token federation and risk containment. Discover how to map your authentication maturity journey while maximizing security ROI. We'll showcase new capabilities like access token reports for improved visibility, streamlined MFA implementation and secure SSO with token federation. Learn strategies to minimize token risk through TTL limits, scoped tokens and network policies. You'll walk away with actionable insights to enhance your authentication practices and strengthen platform security on Databricks.
