It looks like you don't have the CREATE CATALOG privilege on the metastore you're trying to create the catalog in:

Did you ever get this solved? I'm seeing the same issue.

In particular: the error message refers to a troubleshooting notebook, which in turn refers out to a document https://files.training.databricks.com/static/troubleshooting.html#cannot-create-catalog, which at this moment just says "Coming Soon". ????

EDIT: I found the issue in my Databricks metastore was that it did not have a default storage location set. The academy setup scripts don't explicitly set MANAGED LOCATION and therefore without a default location it fails.
I tried to establish a default storage location on my existing metastore but it didn't work for some reason - silently failed, not sure where to look for logs or error messages. But, I confirmed this was the issue because I set up a new metastore (in a different region) and a new workspace, and at metastore creation time I set a default S3 bucket, and then - voila - CREATE CATALOG worked fine without specifying managed location.
