Possible Reasons

  • 🏢 SQL-Only Workspace: Your workspace may be provisioned for Databricks SQL only — no support for notebooks or clusters.

  • 🔒 Permission Restriction: You might not have cluster create or use permissions.

  • 👤 Wrong Persona Selected: UI might be set to SQL persona only (limited view).


Steps to Resolve

  • Check Workspace Type:

    • Ask your admin: Check with admin for credential access from Databricks Account console

  • Switch Persona (if option available):

    • Top-left menu → Change from SQL to Data Science & Engineering

  • Verify Permissions:

    • Ask admin to check if you have:

      • Can Manage Clusters

      • Can Use Clusters

  • Request Full Access:

    • If workspace is SQL-only and you need notebooks/Spark, request a full "Data Science & Engineering" workspace.
