Unity Catalog shows enabled in Azure Resource Graph, but the Databricks workspace UI does not show UC features

ok, emailed them again. they were trying to push it to azure support, fingers crossed

tried initially to email databricks support, but they responded: Comment description: Hi, Thank you for reaching out to Databricks Support! According to our records, the account is an Azure account; hence, we request you to contact Azure support first and Databricks will be involved in case required.

Hi Mike,

I would not run the ARM update suggested by Copilot. Microsoft’s current Azure Databricks documentation says an existing workspace is enabled for Unity Catalog by assigning it to a Unity Catalog metastore; it does not document manually setting unityCatalogEnabled through the Azure Resource Manager workspace properties.

If you are an Azure Databricks account admin, open the Databricks Account Console > Catalog > select the metastore > Workspaces > Assign to workspace, select the affected workspace, and choose Enable. The metastore and workspace must be in the same region.

If the workspace is already assigned to a metastore but Catalog Explorer/Unity Catalog features are still missing, I would open an Azure Databricks support request rather than manually modifying undocumented ARM properties. Include the workspace ID, region, metastore ID, and the Resource Graph output showing Unity Catalog as enabled.

Thank you, and feel free to respond back for more assistance.
