Run Lakeflow pipelines as a group
October 5, 2026
You can now set a pipeline's run-as identity to an account group, in addition to a user or a service principal. Pipeline updates run with the group's permissions, so a team can own an automated pipeline without tying it to one person's account. See Set the run-as identity to a group.
