Hello @samson01 

Good day mate!

You can Manage to fix the issue by updating the provider.tf while. You need to create a Service Principle token and add that into your provider.tf file. 

provider "databricks" {
alias = "accounts"
client_id = "service-principle-id"
client_secret = "service-principle-secret"
account_id = "databricks-account-id"
