Research direction

Review iac-adb-360/README.md and the linked Unity Catalog metastore documentation. Clarify that the metastore is created by default when a new DB workspace is deployed through the IaC file, and resolve whether “DB Groups” refers to Databricks groups rather than Entra groups. Done when the README wording removes both ambiguities.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I had to double check if the metastore was created based off of: iac-adb-360\README.md

Looks like this is created by default. Perhaps a one liner explaining this would have been created automatically in the process of a new DB workspace deployed via the IaC file. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/databricks/data-governance/unity-catalog/create-metastore

Follow up this took me a minute to understand we are talking about DB Groups not Entra....I think....
