Connection management has no way to differentiate between connections that use the same credentials

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 27 Season of Giving Solutions 2025
I have 2 Azure Databricks connections in my environment, one to a non-serverless cluster that I have been using for all of my work to date. The other, new connection, is to a serverless cluster which was recently configured. I use a service account to connect to both and have no way to differentiate between the 2 other than the time at which they were created since the connection name is the service account name.
 
Is there any way to apply a different name to the connection? I do not see a way to do so.

    You are correct—there is no native way to rename a Connection object once it has been created in the Power Platform environment. The system automatically assigns the name based on the connector type and the credentials provided, which is why your two connections appear identical.
     
    you can try below (Might be helpful):
     
    The Solution: Use Connection References

    When you work inside a Solution in Power Automate, you do not select "Connections" directly; you select Connection References. Unlike a raw Connection, a Connection Reference is an object that you can name whatever you like.
    Here is how to fix your issue:
    • Create a Solution: In the Power Automate portal, go to Solutions and create a new one.
    • Add a New Connection Reference: Inside your solution, click New > Automation > Connection reference.
    • Configure: * Display Name: Name this specifically (e.g., Databricks - Serverless Cluster).
      • Connector: Choose Azure Databricks.
      • Connection: Choose the specific Service Account connection you want to use.
    • Repeat: Create a second Connection Reference for your non-serverless cluster and name it Databricks - Classic Cluster.
