Is it possible to generate Databricks tokens using an Azure Service Principal?

gentresh — Wed, 22 Feb 2023 10:28:33 GMT

Our organization has setup a databricks service on top of Azure (that is, the Azure-managed service). These are all defined with terraform. Our intention is to use an Azure service principal (with correct permissions) to be able to generate tokens, provide for github integration, and overall administrator role.

Is this a recommendation? Does anybody have any links or best-practices to share?

@Gent Reshtani :

Using an Azure service principal for authentication and authorization in Databricks is a common practice and a recommended approach.
