How can I assign cluster policies using the Databricks REST API?

To assign cluster policies using the Databricks REST API, you need to make a POST request to the appropriate API endpoint. Here’s an example of how you can assign a cluster policy to a team or user using the Databricks REST API:

1. Obtain an access token:
   • Generate an access token with appropriate permissions to manage cluster policies and user/group assignments. You can refer to the Databricks documentation for details on how to obtain an access token.
2. Determine the Cluster Policy ID:
   • Identify the ID of the cluster policy you want to assign. You can obtain the ID by listing the cluster policies or by retrieving the details of a specific policy using the Databricks REST API.
3. Make the POST request:
   • Use an HTTP client, such as cURL or a programming language library, to send a POST request to the following API endpoint: POST /api/2.0/preview/permissions/cluster-policies/assign
   • Set the necessary request headers:
   • Authorization: Bearer <access-token>
   • Content-Type: application/json
   • Provide the request body in JSON format, specifying the policy ID and the group name or user name. Here’s an example request body
   • { "policy_id": "<policy-id>", "group_name": "<group-name>" }
   • Replace <policy-id> with the ID of the cluster policy you want to assign, and <group-name> with the name of the team or user to which you want to assign the policy.
4. Send the request and handle the response:
   • Send the POST request to the API endpoint using your chosen HTTP client.
   • Handle the response to determine if the assignment was successful. The response will typically include a status code indicating the outcome of the operation.

By using the Databricks REST API, you can programmatically assign cluster policies to teams or users, allowing you to automate access control management in your Azure Databricks environment.
