Can't see table from Databricks Mirror

Just set up mirroring in Fabric to my databricks catalog. There is a table that I cannot see. Attempted to refresh. The object is not a view. Struggling to troubleshoot. Any ideas?

    Hello trentglover 

    Seems like a permission issue, if mirroring process is completed and table is not visible
    Ensure that the account used to set up the mirroring connection has the necessary permissions in Databricks Unity Catalog

    • EXTERNAL_USE_SCHEMA privilege on the schema containing the table
    • USE permission on the relevant catalogs and schemas
    • SELECT and MODIFY permissions on the tables
    1. Verify Fabric Permissions: Remember that Unity Catalog policies and permissions are not mirrored in Fabric. You may need to reconfigure access controls within Fabric

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/database/mirrored-database/troubleshooting

    https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/fabric-docs/blob/main/docs/database/mirrored-database/azure-databricks-security.md

     

    1. Confirm that the "External data access" flag is enabled on the Databricks metastore
    2. Verify that the table is a supported type. Mirroring only supports UC managed and unmanaged tables. Views, streaming tables, and certain other object types are not supported

     

    Hope this helps.

    please accept the solution if this is helpful.

    Thanks
