Manage your Databricks workspaces

This article is an overview of your options for creating and managing workspaces. It also includes guidance on accessing the admin console and workspace settings.

What is a workspace?

A workspace is a Databricks deployment in a cloud service account. It provides a unified environment for working with Databricks assets for a specified set of users.

Create a workspace

There are a few different methods you can use to create new workspaces. These are:

• Using the Databricks account console UI

• Calling the Databricks Account API

• Using the Databricks Terraform Provider

• AWS Quick Start (not formally supported by Databricks)

Access the admin console

The admin console is where you can manage features and settings for your Databricks workspace. To access the admin console, click your username in the top bar of the Databricks workspace and select Admin Console.

Manage workspace settings

The admin console includes a tab for Workspace Settings where you can manage workspace-specific behavior. For more information, see Manage workspace settings.
