while creating Azure Databricks, the managed resource group is getting created automatically with resources(vnet,nsg and storage account). My question is, is it possible to create Azure Databricks without managed resource group. If not can we use our existing resources(like vnet, nsg and storage account)

I have tried creating Azure Databricks with rest APi with empty managed resource group. But i am not able to sign in while launching workspace.

The managed resource group must exist as this is where your cluster(s) will be created. To ensure that nothing breaks them, they are placed in a separate resource group that has a super lock on it so you cannot modify anything in it.

There is however the ability to deploy into your own vnet (currently in public Preview) https://docs.azuredatabricks.net/administration-guide/cloud-configurations/azure/vnet-inject.html

Note that the Managed Resource Group is still created and required when you do this.
