Terms in this definition
- Unity Catalog
Azure Databricks' governance solution covering both data and AI in one place, with centralised permissions, auditing, data discovery and lineage.
- OpenSharing
An open protocol and platform from Azure Databricks for sharing data and AI assets securely, whether with another metastore (Databricks-to-Databricks) or with recipients who don't use Databricks (open sharing).
- Set
Secret permission in Key Vault for writing secrets; some older material refers to it as Create.
- FILTER
Returns just those rows of a table that meet a condition. In CALCULATE it handles conditions too complex for a Boolean filter argument, though a Boolean filter is faster whenever one will work.
Related terms
- Defender for Cloud email notifications
Emailed security alerts from Defender for Cloud. Out of the box only High severity is sent, and each recipient receives roughly four high, two medium and one low per day at most.
- Distribution group
Exchange group with an email address whose only purpose is delivering mail to members; it cannot be used to assign permissions or as an Azure Monitor alert recipient.
- DKIM
A standard for authenticating email: the sending domain adds a digital signature over parts of each message, letting the recipient confirm nothing was changed along the way.
- Dynamic Delivery
A Safe Attachments option where the body of a message reaches the recipient straight away, with placeholder files standing in until the attachments have been scanned. It is only available for mailboxes in Exchange Online.
- GAL
The directory of all mail-enabled recipients in an Exchange Online organisation, which people browse when addressing messages in Outlook. Mail users and mail contacts are listed in it, and admins can hide any recipient from view.
- IP access list
Only connections from the IPv4 addresses or CIDR ranges entered here are allowed. An OpenSharing open recipient accepts at most 100 entries, set up separately from the lists that protect a workspace.
- One-time passcode
If a recipient lacks a work, school or social account, Microsoft Purview Message Encryption can email them a code to open the encrypted message portal instead. Admins switch this off through Set-OMEConfiguration's -OTPEnabled parameter.
