Service principal types

Azure Databricks supports two types of service principals:

  1. Azure Databricks managed service principals: Created and managed directly within Databricks. Can create PATs through the Databricks UI.

  2. Microsoft Entra ID managed service principals: Created in Microsoft Entra ID, then imported into Databricks. Accessed via Azure API.
