I have started a PayGo Azure tenancy and a Databricks 14 day trial
I have signed up using my gmail account.
with the above user , I logged into azure and created a workspace and tried to share a schema deltasharing.
I am unable to share to a open user (see screenshots attached).
In the catalog it shows me
Delta Sharing settings
Contact your admin to modify the following settings.
External delta sharing - Disabled = no option provided to enable it.
I am the admin for azure tenancy and databricks as well. using my gmail acct
what do I do to enable external delta sharing to create an external recipent. ?

Hi @mandarsu ,
To enable external Delta Sharing in Databricks:
- Enable External Sharing:
Go to the Databricks Account Console, open your Unity Catalog metastore settings, and enable the “External Delta Sharing” option. - Check Permissions:
Ensure you have the required metastore permissions. - Create a Recipient:
Use SQL or the Databricks UI. Example:
CREATE RECIPIENT recipient_name COMMENT 'Optional description';
