Restrict a Workspace User from Creating/Managing Databricks Jobs

Hello Databricks team,

I currently have a workspace user, and I want to disable their ability to create or manage Databricks jobs entirely. Specifically, I would like to prevent the user from accessing the "Create Job" option in the Databricks UI or via any API.

I am aware of the Job ACLs, which allow us to manage permissions like CAN_MANAGE or CAN_EDIT for specific jobs. However, my requirement is different: I need a way to completely restrict this user from creating any job, not just managing existing ones.

Is there a mechanism in Databricks to achieve this? For example:

  • A setting or permission to disable the "Create Job" option for a specific user or service principal.
  • A workspace-level control that governs job creation permissions.

If my understanding of Job ACLs is incorrect and they can restrict job creation as well, kindly clarify.

Thank you for your guidance!
