# Create and Manage Databricks Project Workspaces

After workspaces are configured, project owners can enable workspaces within their projects. This feature allows project members to [write data](https://documentation.immuta.com/2024.2/secure-your-data/projects-and-purpose-based-access-control/writing-to-projects/how-to-guides/write-data-back) to projects and share this data with other users as [derived data sources](https://documentation.immuta.com/2024.2/secure-your-data/projects-and-purpose-based-access-control/reference-guides/project-workspaces#derived-data-sources).

**Requirement**: You must own the project

**Prerequisites**:

* [Databricks integration configured](https://documentation.immuta.com/2024.2/data-and-integrations/databricks-spark/how-to-guides/configuration).
* [Databricks workspace configured](https://documentation.immuta.com/2024.2/application-settings/how-to-guides/config-builder-guide#add-a-workspace).
* [Databricks tables registered in Immuta](https://documentation.immuta.com/2024.2/data-and-integrations/registering-metadata/register-data-sources/query-backed-tutorial).
* [External IDs have been mapped in for Databricks](https://documentation.immuta.com/2024.2/people/immuta-users/how-to-guides/external-user-mapping).

## Create a Databricks workspace

{% hint style="info" %}
**Databricks cluster configuration**

Before creating a workspace, the cluster must send its configuration to Immuta; to do this, run a simple query on the cluster (i.e., `show tables`). Otherwise, an error message will occur when you attempt to create a workspace.
{% endhint %}

1. Navigate to the **Policies** tab and enable **Project Equalization** by clicking the Project Equalization slider to **on**.
2. Scroll to the **Workspace** section and click **Create**.
3. Select **Databricks** from the **Workspace Configuration** dropdown menu.
4. Opt to edit the sub-directory in the **Workspace Directory** field; this sub-directory auto-populates as the project name.
5. Enter the **Workspace Database Name**.
6. Click **Create** to enable the workspace.

## Delete a workspace

1. Scroll to the **Workspace** section on the policies tab and click the **toggle** to disable the workspace.
2. Click **Delete** in the workspace section.
3. Choose one of the following options in the modal:
   * **Purge Generic Workspace Data**: Permanently delete data, while the data used by derived data sources is preserved. *Note: If you created a derived data source that references a view on top of a table in Snowflake that isn't a derived data source, that table will be deleted and break the derived data source.*
   * **Purge Everything & Delete Derived Data Sources**: Permanently delete data and purge all derived data sources.
4. Click **Delete**.
