Dear @karthik p​, following the official documentation, tells me that the data, click on Create Metastore, however, I do not see that option. Ref: Create a Unity Catalog metastore - Azure Databricks | Microsoft (Web view)

@Eddynson Vega​ above create metastore option will not be visible in your workspace, when you login as admin to above link that i posted then only you can see that create metastore option .

workspace url will be different and account console will be different

I have tried login with the above URL (https://accounts.azuredatabricks.net/login) many times with admin account. The issue remains the same. the Create Metastore button is not available, and we are in the premium plan.

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.

@karthik p​ I'm the account admin and I'm still looking at the same console with the url you provided, I don't know what's going on.

[Hubert-Dudek]

Yes it need to be on premium plan.

@karthik p​ @Hubert Dudek​ My account is premium plan and yet when I log in as an administrator, I can't look at the option to create metastore

[karthik_p]

@Eddynson Vega​ above are main pre-requisites, can you please reach your data bricks account executive to check if anything missing from account end

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.
