This capability functions independently of whether the user has explicitly been granted access to a corporate cloud environment. When a SCIM integration is established with Entra ID, it synchronizes user identities to Databricks, enabling these users to be invited.</P> <P>To mitigate this&nbsp;Azure Databricks provides a setting to control the ability of workspace administrators to invite users. You can manage this through the workspace's configuration settings using the <CODE>restrict_workspace_admins</CODE> feature. This limits workspace administrators, allowing only specified users or groups with predetermined access permissions to join the workspace</P> Sat, 19 Apr 2025 21:24:46 GMT https://community.databricks.com/t5/administration-architecture/unexpected-behavior-with-azure-databricks-and-entra-id-scim/m-p/115919#M3275 Alberto_Umana 2025-04-19T21:24:46Z
