Getting error "User is not an owner of Account" when creating a storage credential in Azure Databricks

I'm using Azure Databricks.

I've followed this guide to create an Azure Storage Account and an Access Connector for Azure Databricks. I've given the `Storage Blob Data Contributor` role to the Access Connector in the Storage Account. When I go to the Databricks UI to create the storage credential, I get an error "User is not an owner of Account". I'm not sure what this means nor how I can resolve the error.

I've tried adding the Owner role to the Access Connector in the Storage Account as well with no success.

See below screen shot:

Any thoughts or guidance? Thanks!

UPDATE: I figured it out. The user I was logged into in Databricks was not an admin. Once I made that user an admin, I was able to add the storage credential. Note that the "default" user in Databricks is not an admin. I needed to create a new user in Azure Active Directory with the Global Admin role and login with that account at https://accounts.azuredatabricks.net/login/ in order to be an admin.
