I have started a PayGo Azure tenancy and a Databricks 14 day trial

I have signed up using my gmail account.

with the above user , I logged into azure and created a workspace  and tried to share a schema deltasharing.
I am unable to share to a open user (see screenshots attached).

In the catalog it shows me 

Delta Sharing settings
Contact your admin to modify the following settings.
External delta sharing - Disabled = no option provided to enable it.
 
I am the admin for azure tenancy and databricks as well. using my gmail acct
 
what do I do to enable external delta sharing to create an external recipent. ?

Hi @mandarsu ,

To enable external Delta Sharing in Databricks:

  1. Enable External Sharing:
    Go to the Databricks Account Console, open your Unity Catalog metastore settings, and enable the โ€œExternal Delta Sharingโ€ option.
  2. Check Permissions:
    Ensure you have the required metastore permissions.
  3. Create a Recipient:
    Use SQL or the Databricks UI. Example:

    CREATE RECIPIENT recipient_name COMMENT 'Optional description';
