Action required: preserve Databricks Unity Catalog query audit details

What’s changing

Starting August 26, 2026, Databricks will mask the query_text column in the query_history system table by default.

Query text will be visible only to

  • Databricks account administrators
  • Members of the databricks_pii_access group who also have access to the underlying table or API

Why it matters

Immuta's Databricks Unity Catalog query audit ingests the query text for audit events. ​If you do not update your Immuta service principal's privileges, Immuta query audit will no longer contain the query text.

Without the required privilege, future Immuta query audit events may:

  • Omit the query text
  • ​Show query audit events as Indeterminant

Action required

To maintain your current query audit functionality, add the Immuta service principal associated with your Databricks Unity Catalog connection to the databricks_pii_access group in Databricks.

If the group does not already exist, create it by following the Databricks documentation.
