[UNAUTHORIZED_ACCESS] Unauthorized access: PERMISSION_DENIED: User does not have any non-BROWSE privileges on External Location 'gcsbucketname'. SQLSTATE: 42501

this confirms that there IS an external location by this name in my workspace, however, as an admin, I am unable to see it in the external locations, neither is anybody else in my organization. I am unable to recreate the external location.... because it already exists. It seems this was created by mistake with terraform, the terraform configuration has since then changed to no longer include this. Now even if we want to recreate this with terraform, we can't because the google bucket location is already taken.

 

I expect, as an admin, to be able to see everything to manage my organization. Is this not the case with Databricks? To me it seems that our only way out now is to create a new bucket or recreate the workspace alltogether. Am I missing something? Is there a superadmin button somewhere that I am not aware of? It seems a bit silly that nobody within my organization can see ANY external locations, even working ones. We found out there are additional external locations which currently cannot be managed at all, since they are created by the service account (which we can't use to log in the workspace with since its a gcs service account).
