I have few tables created in Databricks workspace and I want to give read access to these tables for certain members. Currently we can create groups in Databricks Workspace and provide SQL Workspace access, Cluster Creation permission.
Is it possible that I can add an Azure AD security group as a user in Databricks and control access to it rather than creating groups in databricks workspace?
You can't add AAD group as a user of the workspace - you just need to sync necessary AAD groups and users from them into the Databricks workspace. You can do that using one of the tools:
P.S. It's also usually not recommended to give users cluster creation permissions, otherwise the costs will be out of the control. Instead, just create shared clusters, and SQL endpoints. Or at least create a cluster policy with predefined rules about cluster size, etc.
