Question

I created azure account and launched databricks, I don't have access to admin console of databricks even though I am the only admin user

Answer 1

Hi ,

Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

It sounds like your access may be limited due to permissions configured at the Azure subscription or resource group level. Here are a few steps to help troubleshoot:

1. Check Your Role in Azure Portal: Ensure that your user account has the appropriate role (such as "Owner" or "Contributor") assigned at the Databricks workspace level in the Azure Portal.
2. Access Admin Settings: In Databricks, Admin Console access requires the "Databricks Admin" role, which is separate from Azure roles. If possible, check under "User Settings" or with any support contacts if this role has been assigned correctly.
3. Enable Unity Catalog or Enterprise Features: For some administrative tasks, specific Azure Databricks features, like Unity Catalog or Premium SKU, might be necessary.

If you’re certain that your Azure account is the only admin, and the permissions are configured correctly, reaching out to Azure Support can help resolve any backend permission issues. Let me know if this worked!
