[Metastore] can't assign to workspace in cross Azure Account envirronment

[data_bricklayer]

Hi all,

hope you are doing well. We have a metastore in tenant A, and workspaces in tenant B. Tenant B has Contributor Role to tenant A, to access the metastore. For some reasons, we can not assign the metastore from tenant A to the workspace in tenant B, the workspace is not showing in tenant A. What did go wrong? Looking forward to your feedbacks. Thanks in advance!

Hi @data_bricklayer, To address this, ensure the Contributor Role in tenant B has the right permissions for tenant A's metastore. Verify that the workspace in tenant B is properly registered and visible in tenant A and that both are in the same region. Check that your cluster's security mode supports cross-tenant access, and confirm Unity Catalog is properly configured and enabled for the workspace.

Hi Kaniz,

thank you for getting back to me. For some reason my previous account was deleted.

So do we have to create a role for tenant A to access tenant B? Right now, we created only a role for B to access A.

in short do we have to create 2 roles for those tenants to access each other?

Also how do we check the visibility of the Workspace? Looking forward to hearing from you.
