Service Principal Name vs. Application ID in Catalog Explorer – How to Display Only Names?

PeterRakar — Wed, 12 Mar 2025 12:39:53 GMT

When I look at the permissions for a specific catalog in Catalog Explorer, I see the Application ID from Entra ID instead of the Service Principal name defined in the Databricks account for some Service Principals, while for others, I see the Service Principal name.

How can I display only names?

I think some one add the SP using the add new button in the service principal wirndow. You can add there display name and application id.

Thank's for your response. I think I resolved it:
The Service Principal was added via the Databricks Console with a display name and application ID, but it was not added to the Databricks Workspace that I used to display permissions for that catalog, so the workspace didn’t recognize the display name.
