Cannot manage permissions for Databricks workspace disconnected from metastore

So in the Databricks Account console, under "Workspaces", I am trying to configure permissions for a specific workspace that was formerly attached to a metastore, but the metastore is now deleted (on purpose).

No errors show up in the Account console under Workspaces for this workspace, but the "Permissions" section is grayed-out, and when I hover over the "Permissions", I see this:  

"To grant users and groups access to this workspace, go to the Data tab, choose a Unity Catalog metastore, assign the workspace to the metastore, and return to the Permissions tab."

...but I don't want to do that at all.  I want the workspace to run in legacy mode unattached to a metastore.

I do have another Databricks Workspace attached to another metastore.  But this particular one I don't want attached to the metastore, but I do want to be able to access it, but I can't.

Any ideas?  Thanks!
