groups-v2 command group

note

This information applies to Databricks CLI versions 0.205 and above. The Databricks CLI is in Public Preview.

Databricks CLI use is subject to the Databricks License and Databricks Privacy Notice, including any Usage Data provisions.

The groups-v2 command group within the Databricks CLI allows you to manage groups in the Databricks workspace. Groups simplify identity management, making it easier to assign access to Databricks workspace, data, and other securable objects. It is best practice to assign access to workspaces and access-control policies in Unity Catalog to groups, instead of to users individually.
