Hello, I cannot log in to the Databricks Account Console (accounts.azuredatabricks.net) to set up Unity Catalog. My original account (@gmail.com) is a personal Microsoft account and receives the error AADSTS500200. I have created a new organizational user and made it an Owner of the subscription:@companydoffogmail.onmicrosoft.com Please could you manually assign the Account Admin role for my Databricks Account to this new organizational user so that I can proceed with the Unity Catalog setup? Thank you.

hi there )) thanks for posting this on q&a, its super helpful when folks share their exact issue like u did.

so the aadsts500200 error usually pops up when u try to use a personal microsoft account (like ******@gmail.com) to access something that needs a work or school account. basically, the system goes 'wait, who dis?'

make sure u're logging in with that new org account (******@companydoffogmail.onmicrosoft.com). don't even let the browser autofill the old one, or it'll get confused ))

check if the account has the right permissions in azure ad. u said u made it an owner, which is good, but for databricks account console access, it needs the 'account admin' role specifically.

if u still hit a wall, try clearing cookies or using an incognito window. sometimes browsers cling to old sessions like a bad relationship )

also worth looking into whether the tenant has any conditional access policies blocking u. the azure ad portal can show u that under 'security > conditional access'.

a lot of azure services get fussy about personal vs work accounts.

if u need to double check the account's status in databricks, u can peek at the account admin list via the api. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/databricks/dev-tools/api/latest/account.

let us know if it sticks, yes? )
