Hello,
What is the relationship between Databricks Account (as described in [1]) and Azure resources? Is Databricks Account created per Azure account? Or per Azure tenant? Or maybe per subscription?

Hi @Kaniz Fatmaโ , thank you for your response.
As far as I understand the hierarchy in Azure is as follows:
Azure Account -> Tenancy -> Subscription -> Resource Group -> Resource
In my account I have multiple tenants and they have multiple subscription. You said that "Your Databricks account is linked to your Azure subscription". Does it mean that each subscription needs to have a dedicated Databricks account?

Hi @Kaniz Fatmaโ !
Is account created implicitly? Or is it created explicitly and then linked to workspaces?
To give you some background for the question - we're part of a big organisation, with a lot of different teams. Each team gets (from a central Azure team) their own Azure subscription with a full admin access. Azure root account and tenant is shared by entire organization.
Now we'd like to enable Unity Catalog for our workspaces, but for that account-level access is required. If Databricks account can be scoped down to an Azure subscription, we're good - the central Azure team could give us admin rights to the account. But if account is, by definition, linked to workspaces across subscriptions and tenants they can't - and it's a big deal to get it set up in a secure way. This most likely means no Unity Catalog for us
