Hello @Sadam Hussain ,

Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.

Could you please confirm if your user account has Azure Subscription Contributor or Owner permissions? If not, then that is the reason you are seeing this issue.

In order to create Azure Databricks workspace, you need to meet one of the below requirements:

• You must be an Azure Contributor or Owner of the subscription in which you are trying to create the workspace. or
• The Microsoft.ManagedIdentity resource provider must be registered in your subscription using a user account with contributor/owner permissions on the subscription.

Here is public documentation where it calls out about this prerequisite: Azure Databricks administration guide

Please find the detailed documentation about how to register resource provider here - Azure resource providers, types and how to register

Hope this will help. Please let us know if any further queries.
