Create and manage tag policies

Beta

This feature is in Beta.

This page explains how to create and manage tag policies across your account. For an overview of tag policies, see Tag policies.

Tag data can be replicated globally. Do not use tag names or values that could compromise the security of your resources. For example, do not use tag names that contain personal or sensitive information.

Enable tag policies

  1. As an account admin, log in to the account console.
  2. In the sidebar, click Previews.
  3. Set the Tag policies toggle to On.

Create a tag policy

To create a tag policy, you must have the CREATE permission at the account level. Account and workspace admins have CREATE by default.

  1. In your Databricks workspace, click Data icon. Catalog.

  2. On the Quick access page, click the Tag Policies > button.

  3. Click Create tag policy.

    Tag keys are case sensitive. For example, Sales and sales are two distinct tags.

  5. Optionally, enter a description for the tag policy.

  6. Optionally, enter one or more allowed values for the tag. Only these values can be assigned to this tag key.
