Dear community, I want to configure the unity catalog with databricks, but the Create MetaStore button does not appear in my Azure Databricks workspace.
In the community, I have seen that several users present the same situation ... What is the reason for this problem?

Hello Databricks @Rajesh Paul , I already found the solution: To login as an administrator (https://accounts.azuredatabricks.net/login), it is necessary to have the role of global administrator on the azure subscription, otherwise it will never appear.

Hello Databricks Community, good news! I already found the solution: To login as an administrator, it is necessary to have the role of global administrator on the azure subscription, otherwise it will never appear.
