Authorization

When you add a Databricks card to a flow for the first time, Okta Workflows prompts you to configure the connection. This connection links to your Databricks account and saves your account information, so you can reuse this connection for future Databricks flows.

Note:

You can create multiple unique connections and manage them from the Connections page in the Okta Workflows console.

Before you begin

You have Databricks account with Account Admin role.
You have a Databricks service principal and service principal secret.
