unity catalog issue, i build 2 databricks workspace, but can not manage accounts

Question

I created two workspaces in Azure Databricks, but I cannot find the 'Manage Accounts' option in my account. How can I access this service?"

I can not use unity catalog service , any action I can fix this issue? thank you

Answer 1

Unity Catalog may not be enabled by default in your Databricks workspaces. You need to check if your workspaces are using Unity Catalog, as it is a separate feature that requires configuration.

• Go to the Azure Databricks Admin Console.
• Under the Data tab, check for Unity Catalog-related settings.
• If Unity Catalog is not enabled, you will need to enable it. This may require additional permissions and an appropriate Azure Databricks cluster configuration.

Verify also if you have the necessary permissions to manage accounts or Unity Catalog settings. If you're not an admin or don't have the necessary role, you may not be able to see the "Manage Accounts" option.

Unity Catalog is available in specific regions, and your Databricks workspace must be in a region that supports Unity Catalog. Ensure that your subscription supports Unity Catalog and is provisioned in a compatible region.

If you created two separate workspaces, you may need to ensure they are correctly linked to your Azure environment, particularly if you are trying to manage accounts across them.

If you still face issues after checking these settings, you can try contacting Azure support to ensure that your Databricks workspaces are correctly configured for Unity Catalog and account management.

Hi @莎琦 陳

Greetings & Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum! Thanks for posting your query!

In addition to @ Amira Bedhiafi

As I understand that you are having trouble accessing the 'Manage Accounts' option in your Azure Databricks workspaces, which is preventing you from using the Unity Catalog service. This issue may arise if your workspaces are not properly configured or if you lack the necessary permissions. You might want to check your user role and permissions within Azure Databricks and Azure Entra ID.
