I wonder how I could get the s3 url, I do have an account with my email before Free edition, may be community edition. When i opened accounts console, it did show up, was thinking it could be the free edition only! Thanks again.</P> Wed, 15 Oct 2025 13:30:58 GMT https://community.databricks.com/t5/data-engineering/lost-access-to-databricks-account-console-on-free-edition/m-p/135002#M50249 chanukya-pekala 2025-10-15T13:30:58Z https://community.databricks.com/t5/data-engineering/lost-access-to-databricks-account-console-on-free-edition/m-p/135065#M50268 <P>I just double checked, I was able to manage my personal workspace through terraform without account console.
