Creating Groups with API and Python

[Derek_Czarny]

I am working on a notebook to help me create Azure Databricks Groups.  When I create a group in a workspace using the UI, it automatically creates the group at the account level and links them.  When I create a group using the API, and I create the workspace group, it creates it as a local group to the workspace.  Using a different API, I was able to create the group at the account level.  I have not found the API so I can do the exact same thing that happens in the UI.  Any suggestions?

Hi @Derek_Czarny ,

Unfortunately, there is no single endpoint that replicates what you can do in the UI. But you can achieve the same with following approach:

- create group at account level using below endpoint:

https://docs.databricks.com/api/account/accountgroups/create

- associate this group with workspace using below endpoint

https://docs.databricks.com/api/account/workspaceassignment/update

I am finally able to circle back to this.  I can create the account group just fine.  When I go to create the workspace group, I keep getting an error message:

Response: {"error_code":"ENDPOINT_NOT_FOUND","message":"No API found for 'POST /accounts/[REDACTED]/workspaces/[REDACTED]/permissionassignments/principals/[REDACTED]'"

Hi @Derek_Czarny ,

I guess you're using wrong http method. You should use PUT method instead POST.

That was it, thank you.  I was looking at the wrong details.  I really appreciate it.

Cool, I'm happy that it worked for you
