After, i change Access control (IAM):

2Now i have the rol as Administrator and Owner in workspace.

But when I insert the url: https://accounts.azuredatabricks.net/ and select the name of the workspace:

3It redirects me to the main page of the workspace and not to the page Unity Catalogo to add metastore...

In addition, when I create a cluster, the label Unity Catalog does not appear:

I'm using a company account, I don't know what kind of permissions I'm missing.

can anybody help me?😫

Thanks!

@Alfonso Gallardo​ To access the main account console you'll need to be a Global Azure AD Admin or have an account admin priviledge.

If this is your first time logging in or accessing the account console, you'll need the Global Azure AD Admin to login who can then set other users to be the account admin (who can access the account console)

I'm with you agallard. I have had the same/similar problem with every databricks initiative and new technology offering. I am so dissappointed with Databricks as a product and as a company. I brought DB into my company about 2 years ago. I believed that the technical brilliance of Spark and Databricks founder would make for an excellent partner into my company. What I have been so dissappointed to learn is how pathetic the level of documentation has been. I would give Databricks an F in product documentation, product stability, ease of use, support. I can't believe a company trying to go to IPO with its extremely high valuation is failing on the fundamentals so badly. Be better Databricks!

Hi, in Azure AD I´ve rol as Member because the account is a company I can not have permissions as administrator.

 ADDIs it only possible to use Unity Catalog if I have an administrator role or have an account with administrator privileges?

Thanks!
