Databricks app - permissions needed

[SarahA]

Hi. I am trying to create a new databricks app and I get the following error

"Failed to create app [appname]. User does not have permission to grant resource sql-warehouse."

Can someone tell me what level of access I require in order to generate a data app?

Thanks!

Hi @SarahA ,

Requied Permissions to Create a Data AppYou'll need the following permissions in Databricks:

Permission Required Role / Grant Purpose

CAN MANAGE on the SQL Warehouse	SQL Warehouse Admin or Owner	To manage warehouse settings and assign it to the app.
CAN CREATE on the Catalog and Schema	Data Engineer, Workspace Admin, or Owner	To create app-related tables, views, or data models.
CAN MANAGE on the Workspace	Workspace Admin	To manage apps, permissions, and workspace-wide configurations.

Request Required Permissions from Admin:
Ask your Workspace Admin or SQL Warehouse Admin for the following grants:

GRANT USAGE, SELECT, MODIFY ON WAREHOUSE '<warehouse-name>' TO '<your-username>';
GRANT CREATE ON CATALOG '<catalog-name>' TO '<your-username>';

Additional Tips:
If your organization uses Unity Catalog, ensure you have the USE CATALOG and USE SCHEMA permissions for the target catalog/schema.
For improved flexibility, request CAN MANAGE on the SQL Warehouse if you need to modify warehouse settings
