    Hello @sakuraime ,

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

    By design - Only Purview creator can access the Purview account.

    Note: When an Azure Purview account is created, it starts with a root collection that has the same name as the Purview account itself. The creator of the Purview account is automatically added as a Collection Admin, Data Source Admin, Data Curator, and Data Reader on this root collection, and can edit and manage this collection.

    All other users can only access information within the Azure Purview account if they, or a group they're in, are given one of the above roles. This means, when you create an Azure Purview account, no one but the creator can access or use its APIs until they are added to one or more of the above roles in a collection.

    To enable to the access to the purview account, you can use Azure CLI (az purview account add-root-collection-admin) and PowerShell (Add-AzPurviewAccountRootCollectionAdmin).

    Once you have access to the purview account, you can add the permission like (Collection admin, Data source admins, Data Curators, Data readers) as per your requirement from Azure Purview Studio.

    Note: The PowerShell/cli commands for adding permission like (Collection admin, Data source admins, Data Curators, Data readers) are coming soon.

    For more details, refer to Access control in Azure Purview.

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