Class ExternalLocationsAPI

java.lang.Object

com.databricks.sdk.service.catalog.ExternalLocationsAPI

@Generated
public class ExternalLocationsAPI
extends Object

An external location is an object that combines a cloud storage path with a storage credential that authorizes access to the cloud storage path. Each external location is subject to Unity Catalog access-control policies that control which users and groups can access the credential. If a user does not have access to an external location in Unity Catalog, the request fails and Unity Catalog does not attempt to authenticate to your cloud tenant on the user’s behalf.

Databricks recommends using external locations rather than using storage credentials directly.

To create external locations, you must be a metastore admin or a user with the **CREATE_EXTERNAL_LOCATION** privilege.
