Hi rikkyvai, the audit-timestamp warning is useful. One nuance: with TIMESTAMP_LTZ, current_timestamp() represents an instant; the session timezone changes its display. from_utc_timestamp() shifts the value, rather than just formatting it.A useful ch...

SCIM not returning account-level groups for Databricks App users
We’re building an Azure Databricks App for a company use case, designed as a self-service tool for a group of non-technical users (around 100-200).The main idea is that these users don’t have any permissions on the workspace. Access is granted only t...

Your hypothesis is right. Workspace SCIM (including /Me) only returns groups that are assigned to the workspace. Your account SCIM calls failed because both tokens you tried are workspace-scoped. The user's OBO token and the app service principal's t...

Per-agent guardrails: what do you alert on, tokens, retries, or cost per task?
I'm trying to work out what a sensible guardrail looks like for each agent when several of them share a few serving endpoints.A plain token budget feels too blunt. An agent that retries a failing tool four times looks like a heavy user, while a cheap...
