Azure CLI login with an Azure Databricks user account

  • Article

Follow these steps to use the Azure CLI to log in to Azure Databricks with an Azure Databricks user account. For information about Azure Databricks user accounts, see Manage users.

  1. Get the correct Azure subscription ID for your user account, if you do not already know this ID, by doing one of the following:

    • In your Azure Databricks workspace’s top navigation bar, click your username and then click Azure Portal. On the Azure Databricks workspace resource page that appears, click Overview in the sidebar. Then look for the Subscription ID field, which contains the subscription ID.

    • Use the Azure CLI to run the az databricks workspace list command, using the --query and -o or --output options to narrow down the results. Replace adb-0000000000000000.0.azuredatabricks.net with the name of your workspace instance, not including the https://. In this example, the 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 after /subscriptions/ in the output is the subscription ID.

      az databricks workspace list --query "[?workspaceUrl==\`adb-0000000000000000.0.azuredatabricks.net\`].{id:id}" -o tsv

# /subscriptions/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/resourceGroups/my-rg/providers/Microsoft.Databricks/workspaces/my-ws

      If the following message displays, you are signed in to the wrong tenant: The subscription of '<subscription-id>' doesn't exist in cloud 'AzureCloud'. To sign in to the correct tenant, you must run the az login command again, using the -t or --tenant option to specify the correct tenant ID.

      You can get the tenant ID for an Azure Databricks workspace by running the command curl -v <per-workspace-URL>/aad/auth and looking in the output < location: https://login.microsoftonline.com/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000, where 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 is the tenant ID. See also Get subscription and tenant IDs in the Azure portal.

      az login -t <tenant-id>

  2. After you have the correct Azure subscription ID for your user account, begin signing in to Azure by using the Azure CLI to run the az login command. After you run this command, follow the on-screen instructions to finish signing in with your account.

  3. Confirm that you are signed in to the correct subscription for your signed-in user. To do this, run the az account set command, using the -s or --subscription option to specify the correct subscription ID.

    az account set -s <subscription-id>
