Creating a service principal with admin role on account level in Azure Databricks using Terraform

AW — Fri, 04 Nov 2022 16:35:51 GMT

Dear Community,

In the GUI I can grant the admin role to a service principal with a simple switch.

How can I achive the same in Terraform? Do you have some code examples?

Hi @Adrian Wyss ,

to create SP with `account admin` role, please use the following:

resource "databricks_service_principal" "this" {
  provider     = databricks.mws
  display_name = "some-name"
}
 
# assign account_admin role
resource "databricks_service_principal_role" "this" {
  provider             = databricks.mws
  service_principal_id = databricks_service_principal.this.id
  role                 = "account_admin"
}

thanks,

Pat.

Hey @Pat,

unfortunately I get following error

Error: cannot read service principal role: Service Principal has no role

from Terraform resource "databricks_service_principal_role" when using your approach from above.

Do you have any idea?
