SHOW GROUPS is not giving groups available at the account level

Ramana — Wed, 08 Nov 2023 22:14:04 GMT

I am trying to capture all the Databricks groups and their mapping to user/ad group(s).

I tried to do this by using show groups, show users, and show grants by following the examples mentioned in the below article but the show groups command only fetches groups at the workspace level but not at the account level.

Per my understanding, databricks recommends keeping the users and groups at the account level and using them at the workspace level.

Link: https://datamadness.medium.com/pyspark-get-user-table-permissions-in-databricks-edcfb42bdea

The requirement is to capture all the Databricks groups we create and their mapping (members/groups).

For example, if I create a Databricks group named role_test_1 and map it to an AD Group named ad_test_1 and an AD User named ad_user_1@domain.com then I would like to fetch the complete Databriks group-AD group-AD member relationship.

Is there a way to read all the Databricks groups available at the account level?

Thanks

@Ramana , You should be using the account level REST API.

Yes, I can use the Rest API but I am looking for a SQL or Programming way to do this rather than doing the API calls and building the Comex Datatype Dataframe and then saving it as a Table.

Thanks

I tested this and I am just seeing the groups with the API that I see with SHOW GROUPS. It is not showing all the groups that I see from the account console.
