Scan Databricks data source at the schema level rather than the catalog level

Does anyone know how to scan Databricks scoped down to a specific schema? I seem to only be able to scan entire catalogs which is too large of a scope.

Are you referring to the Hive Metastore method for scoping a scan to a specific schema or table?

Is there a private preview feature that we could be granted for "Scan Unity Catalog at the schema level" that we could please receive? I appreciate your help

Yes it is called the hive metastore in the docs but in the Purview datamap it is just called Azure Databricks. There is no preview for lower than catalog level today it is getting prioritized before we can add it to the roadmap.

Could you please confirm if there is something like this in Private Preview regarding Purview scanning Databricks data sources - Unity Catalog scanning at the schema level.

I understand that this is not in Public Preview but it is likely in Private Preview. Please let me know.

  No private preview as this is being prioritized with other enhancements to the databricks scanning and connector.
