Databricks has several roles that manage permissions and access levels within the platform. These roles are typically divided into two categories:

Account-level roles:

• Account Admin: This role fully controls the Databricks account, including managing users, workspaces, and billing.
• Marketplace Admin (if applicable): This role manages the account’s Databricks Marketplace provider profile, including creating and managing Marketplace listings.

Workspace-level roles:

• Workspace Admin: This role controls a specific Databricks workspace, including managing users, clusters, and jobs.
• Metastore Admin (if applicable): This role manages privileges and ownership for all securable objects within a Unity Catalog megastore.

Additional roles:

• User: This is the primary role for individuals working within a Databricks workspace. Depending on their assigned permissions, they can create and run notebooks, jobs, and clusters.
• Service Principal: This is a non-human identity application or service used to interact with Databricks.
• Group: This collection of users or service principals is used to simplify permission management.
