Unable to edit Catalog Owner

smehta_0908 — Wed, 11 Oct 2023 07:14:23 GMT

I created a Catalog and ownership was assigned to me
I created databricks account-group on UC, added my user to this account-group, Assigned ownership of the catalog to this account-group.
I deleted the account-group

Now, the catalog ownership is showing as unknown, and I am unable to change the ownership to me.

How this can be resolved?

That seems expected since the owner (which was the group) was deleted. You'll need a metastore admin to go in and set ownership again to a user/group.

Hi, In addition to the previous message, you can refer to https://docs.databricks.com/en/data-governance/unity-catalog/manage-privileges/index.html#assign-a-metastore-admin to get more information on metastore and etc.
