Hello Databricks Support Team,

we would like to understand whether it is possible to disable specific Databricks product capabilities in our environment, both at Account level and at Workspace level.

1) Lakebase

We would like to confirm if Databricks Lakebase can be disabled:

• at the Databricks Account level (so it is not available in any workspace), and/or
• at the Workspace level 

  If a full disablement is not supported, please confirm whether it is possible to:

  • prevent users from provisioning/creating Lakebase resources,
  • hide Lakebase from the UI (Apps section),
  • restrict Lakebase usage via permissions, enforce this via Terraform / account settings.

2) Model Serving / Serving Endpoints (Foundation Models)

We would also like to disable Model Serving capabilities, in particular the ability to use Databricks-hosted foundation model endpoints.

In the “Serving Endpoints” section we can see endpoints such as:

• databricks-claude-*
• databricks-gpt-*
• databricks-gemini-*

We would like to confirm whether it is possible to:

• disable Model Serving entirely at Account and/or Workspace level,
• disable or block only the Databricks-provided foundation model endpoints,
• prevent users from creating new serving endpoints,
• restrict access via entitlements / permissions / policies,
• enforce the restriction via Terraform or centralized admin settings.

3) “Enable partner-powered AI features” and Genie

In the Admin Console, we see the setting “Enable partner-powered AI features”.

For confirmation, could you please clarify whether disabling this setting fully disables Databricks Genie?
If Genie is not fully disabled by this setting, can you please confirm what is the correct way to disable Genie?

Thanks you.

Best Regards,

Alessandro
