Unable to get external groups from list group details API

[naveenanto]

Hi Team, 
I see that automatic group sync is enabled in our azure databricks by default but I am not able to get the groups using list groups endpoint. What is the right way to get it. I've an automated process to bring certain account groups to workspace.

May be you can try using the sdk.

I'm not sure how it'll be exposed in SDK without it being in API but still I tried it using java-sdk (latest 0.54.0) and I still don't get the response for externally added groups

Hi @naveenanto ,

Maybe you are using wrong endpoint? According to the documentation: 

"When automatic identity management is enabled, you can directly search in identity federated workspaces for Microsoft Entra ID users, service principals, and groups, and add them to your workspace."

I think this feature will bring Entra Id group to the workspace. Try to use endpoint from below link, which should list all groups associated with Databricks workspace. The one that you used before was checking for groups associated with account level.

List group details. | Groups API | REST API reference | Azure Databricks

I checked it and I can confirm that it worked. I enabled automatic identity management, then I've added EntraId group to the workspace and using above endpoint I was able to get information about that group.
