Requirements

To complete this series of steps, you need a Databricks personal access token.

Note

As a security best practice when you authenticate with automated tools, systems, scripts, and apps, Databricks recommends that you use OAuth tokens.

If you use personal access token authentication, Databricks recommends using personal access tokens belonging to service principals instead of workspace users. To create tokens for service principals, see Manage tokens for a service principal.

    Important

    If you sign in to your organization’s Prophecy account, there may already be a list of existing fabric entries.
