databricks single user cluster is not able to assign service principals

I want to set the databricks cluster Access mode to single user and assign the service principal account to the user.

In other words, after creating a single mode cluster, how can I access only servcie principals?

Cluster Type is All-purpose Compute

@17780 Did you ever figure this out?  I am trying to do the same.

Sure thing! So, if you're looking to set up your data block cluster access mode to a single user and want that user to be a service principal account, you've got a couple of steps ahead. First, create your single-mode cluster. Once that's done, you'll need to assign the service principal account to it. This involves configuring the necessary permissions and access rights for that service principal. After the setup, you should be able to access the cluster using only the service principal account you've designated. It's all about fine-tuning those permissions to ensure that only the right folks (or, in this case, service principals) can get in. Double-check your configurations, and you should be good to go!

Below solution worked for me!!
It is not possible to update single user via UI
But you can update the service principal as the signle user via databricks cli.
1. install databricks cli

2. run command databricks configure

3. run command:
# Execute clusters edit Command to Set Service Principal as Single User
databricks clusters edit <cluster id> <spark version number>--cluster-name "<cluster name>" --data-security-mode SINGLE_USER --single-user-name <client id of the service principal> --num-workers 1 --node-type-id <node type> --no-wait
