Getting error "User is not an owner of Account" when creating a storage credential in Azure Databricks

New Contributor III

I'm using Azure Databricks.

I've followed this guide to create an Azure Storage Account and an Access Connector for Azure Databricks. I've given the `Storage Blob Data Contributor` role to the Access Connector in the Storage Account. When I go to the Databricks UI to create the storage credential, I get an error "User is not an owner of Account". I'm not sure what this means nor how I can resolve the error.

I've tried adding the Owner role to the Access Connector in the Storage Account as well with no success.

See below screen shot:

UPDATE: I figured it out. The user I was logged into in Databricks was not an admin. Once I made that user an admin, I was able to add the storage credential. Note that the "default" user in Databricks is not an admin. I needed to create a new user in Azure Active Directory with the Global Admin role and login with that account at https://accounts.azuredatabricks.net/login/ in order to be an admin.
