Trying to create a metastore that will be connected to an external storage (ADLS) but we don't have the option to create a new metastore in 'Catalog' tab in the UI. Based on some research, we see that we'll have to go into "Manage Account" and then create a metastore from there. However, once we click "Manage Account" from the drop down menu under our username on the top right, we are given the choice of selecting the workspace. When we pick the correct workspace, we are directed back to the home page of the workspace instead of the account page. We are both owners of this workspace so I'm not sure what other permissions we need to grant ourselves to solve this. The workspace is also a premium workspace.

Looks like you do not have account admin access.

I have been wrestling with this question for days now. I seem to be the only one with this question so I am sure I am doing something wrong. I am trying to create a UC metastore but there is not an option in "Catalog" to create a metastore. This seems to be leelee3000's quesiton. I have read the Databricks documentation thoroughly and it reads a lot like kaniz_fatma's response. This response is almost exactly what the documentation says. In step it says, " In Azure Databricks, create the metastore, attach the storage location, and assign workspaces to the metastore." The question is "how do I create a metastore when it is not available in the catalog" and the answer is "In Azure Databricks, create the metastore." At this point, I would pay quite a bit to figure out how to enable my workspace with the UC, be able to create a compute that is UC enabled (I have done this Spark Init in the advanced section but the blue "Unity Catalog" icon does not appear in the Summary), and then finally create a UC Catalog so that I can create a volume to that I can implement and deploy a RAG model. Again, very likely my user error, can someone help?
