Unable to set permission for SP account as Owner

Hi Team,

I’m using DataBricks v1.16.1 and Terraform Terraform v1.4.6 on windows_amd64.

Problem1: I’m trying to set job_permission as “IS_OWNER” for SP account. I’m getting error as “Error: cannot create permissions: Groups cannot be owners”. Why is Terraform considering SP as group?

Problem2: When we execute job_permission, terraform automatically removes SP as OWNER and set creator as owner.

Regards,
Santosh

Please bear in mind that, as this is a Terraform specialist forum, there may be relatively few people who have ever worked with DataBricks - I never have. If you can phrase your questions to avoid requiring existing knowledge of DataBricks, you will enjoy a larger pool of people who can help.

You should also read through Guide to asking for help in this forum - in particular, your questions will be far more likely to be able to be usefully answered if you:

  • Show the relevant parts of your Terraform configuration files

  • Show the full terraform commands run, and their output, demonstrating the problem

Bearing in mind I’ve never used DataBricks…

What I’m seeing here is configuration saying “make this group an owner” and an error message saying “groups can’t be owners” … which seems … pretty simply and directly identifying the issue to me?

And if the thing isn’t a group, why are you naming it in a group_name attribute?
