Databricks Community

Our Databricks workspace was created by a personal account. Now the person has left the organization. We would like to change the owner to a Service account(preferably, else to an Admin account).

Questions:

Is it possible to change the owner of the workspace?
If yes, how can it be done?
Is there any impact of not getting the owner changed?

Hi @nihar_ghude ,

1. Yes, changing the owner of the Databricks workspace is possible. As per the provided information, the account's owner can be a user or service account.

2. However, the process to change the owner is not directly mentioned in the provided sources. Based on the available information, the account owner rights can be transferred by contacting the Databricks account representative. In addition, ownership of particular objects (like SQL warehouse, query, dashboard, or alert) can be transferred using the Databricks UI or Permissions REST API.

Are you in aws or Azure.

When you say workspace admin, that could be many. So, you can have multiple workspace admin.
