One of the biggest pains in managing Databricks has been user management, and with people starting to split their work across several workspaces this becomes even trickier to manage. We've previously built out integrations through the API, automatically pushing hard-coded lists of users into Databricks... but there has to be a better way... and there is!
In this video Simon walks through the SCIM connector, an enterprise application we can create inside Azure Active Directory that automatically provisions users and groups within a destination Databricks workspace. This is also used when provisioning the Databricks Account Console, which is a vital part of Unity Catalog, so it's worth getting things set up in advance!
