Serverless Compute Access Restriction Not Supported at User Level

ramsai — Tue, 06 Jan 2026 14:10:45 GMT

The requirement is to disable serverless compute access for specific users while allowing them to use only their assigned clusters, without restricting serverless compute at the workspace level. After reviewing the available configuration options, there is currently no supported way to restrict serverless compute access?

Yes, there is no such option

There isn’t a supported way to block serverless compute for specific users while keeping it enabled for others in the same workspace. Cluster policies don’t apply to serverless, and per‑user entitlements for serverless are not generally available yet.

Hi @ramsai ,

how about a workaround ?

setting budget policies at account level.
