#### Workspace and Cluster Dependencies

* **Ensure Proper Pool-Cluster Associations**: Verify that pools are linked to the necessary clusters to facilitate seamless resource allocation and efficient processing.
* **Validate Workspace Configurations**: Confirm that workspace settings are compatible with the assigned pools to avoid conflicts and performance issues.
* **Check Active Dependencies Before Deletion**: Before removing a pool, ensure that it is not actively being used by any clusters or workloads to prevent disruptions.

#### Pool Permissions

* **ClusterAdmin- ClusterFullAccess**: Grants full privileges to manage and edit assigned pools. Users with this role can create, modify, and delete pools but do not have access to query any data.
* **ClusterManager- ClusterManagerAccess**: Provides permissions to list, retrieve, and update pools within assigned workspaces. Users with this role can view and modify pool connectivity details while ensuring efficient resource management.
