Hi @Sahitya Nigam

Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

Policy permissions allow you to set a max number of compute resources per user. This determines how many resources a user can create using that policy. If the user exceeds the limit, the operation fails.

To restrict the number of resources a user can create using a policy, enter a value into the Max compute resources per user setting under the Permissions tab in the policies UI.

Please find documented steps on how to create policy- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/databricks/admin/clusters/policies

Hi Shikha,

Thankyou for the insight. However, I am specifically trying to stop user from creating a cluste in azure databricks.

Hi Sahitya Nigam

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform! Thank you for asking your question here.

If you're on the Standard SKU, consider switching to the Premium SKU. The Standard SKU lets everyone create clusters freely, while the Premium SKU allows you to restrict who can create them.

Go to the Clusters section in your Azure Databricks workspace. Click on Cluster Policies, then choose Create Policy. Set up a policy that limits cluster creation by specifying which node types and how many instances are allowed.

In the policy settings, go to the Permissions tab. Uncheck the Allow cluster creation option for specific users or groups. This will prevent them from creating new clusters, while others with permission can still create them.

To track unauthorized attempts to create clusters, set up alerts. You can get notifications when a cluster is created or when someone tries to create one without permission.

For reference, please review this documentation:-
