Answer 1

Hi Balarangareddy, good day.

I put below, a CLI command that could work to give access to SPN to the Databricks workspace

you need to install Databricks extension to run the command "az databricks workspace show"

workspaceId=$(az databricks workspace show --name <workspace_name> --query id -o tsv)

az role assignment create --role <role_name> --assignee-object-id <spn_id> --scope $workspaceId

Have a great day.

Answer 2

@Balarangareddy Seelam Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.
Could you please confirm if you are able to successfully added the Azure AD Service principal?

Kindly check and retrieve a list of all service principals in the Azure Databricks
workspace by running this command:

GET https://<databricks-instance>/api/2.0/preview/scim/v2/ServicePrincipals

As per the repro, I was able to see the Azure AD Service principal successfuly available in Databricks portal.

Add service principals to your account using SCIM API 2.0 (ServicePrincipals) for workspaces.

Step1: You can use tools such as curl and Postman to add the Azure AD service principal to your Azure Databricks workspace.

Step2: Now you can see the Azure AD Service principle add to your Azure Databricks workspace.

Add service principals to your account using the account console

To add a service principal to the account using the account console:

1. As an account admin, log in to the account console.
2. Click User management.
3. On the Service principals tab, click Add service principal.
4. Enter a name for the service principal.
5. Under UUID, paste the Application (client) ID for the service principal.
6. Click Add.

For more details, refer to Service principals for Azure Databricks automation and Manage service principals.
