Unable to Create Secret Scope in Databricks – “Fetch request failed due to expired user session”

[SuMiT1]

I’m trying to create an Azure Key Vault-backed Secret Scope in Databricks, but when I click Create, I get this error:

Fetch request failed due to expired user session

I’ve already verified my login, permissions. I also tried refreshing and re-signing in, but the issue still persists.

Root Cause:

The Databricks workspace UI requires an active authentication session for sensitive operations like creating Secret Scopes.

• Extended browser inactivity, resulting in token expir

• Browser cache interfering with refresh token mechanisms.

• SSO session mismatches, (multiple sign-ins  )

Solution thinking: 

i would suggest to try the following steps

Step	Expected Outcome	Context
Full sign-out + browser cache clear	Refreshed, valid session token, no error	https://community.databricks.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/25639
Incognito/private tab	No session cross-talk, successful API fetch	https://community.databricks.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/25639
Use CLI/API with fresh login	Verifies if UI vs API session is at fault	https://community.databricks.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/25639
Workspace admin confirmation	Rules out backend config changes	https://community.databricks.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/25639
