Assistance Required for Enabling Unity Catalog in Databricks Workspace

Hi,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am reaching out regarding a concern with Databricks Administrator privileges. I have an Azure subscription and I use Azure Databricks for my tutorials, but I currently do not have Global Administrator access, which is required to enable Unity Catalog in our Databricks workspace. I'm unable to access 'Manage Account' option under my Azure Databricks account.

Could you please assist with enabling Unity Catalog for our workspace or advise on the necessary steps to obtain the required permissions? If there are any additional details or actions needed from my end, please let me know. I would also appreciate connecting with a concerned professional who can walk me guide me.

Thank you for your assistance.

Hi @Meghana_Vasavad ,

During initial setup of unity catalog you need to find a person with global administrator role of Entra ID tenant. 

It's one time action, because then he can give necessary permission to manage catalog to your account, or even better to Entra group.

But there is no way to avoid this step, so you need to find someone within your organization with such permissions
