Hello @samson01

Good day mate!

You can Manage to fix the issue by updating the provider.tf while. You need to create a Service Principle token and add that into your provider.tf file.

provider "databricks" {

alias = "accounts"

host = "https://accounts.cloud.databricks.com"

client_id = "service-principle-id"

client_secret = "service-principle-secret"

account_id = "databricks-account-id"

}
reference: https://registry.terraform.io/providers/databricks/databricks/latest/docs#special-configurations-for...

I hope this resolve the issue.
