how Data Explorer allows visual, UI-based implementations of the table access control. After that, lea
about the underlying mechanics of authorizing Databricks SQL to cloud storage to access the necessary database files. Finally, dive into the next-generation data cataloging technology known as Unity Catalog and how it improves upon the security capabilities of table access control with Hive Metastore.
