[All Databricks Certified Data Engineer Associate Questions]

A data engineer has left the organization. The data team needs to transfer ownership of the data engineer's Delta tables to a new data engineer. The new data engineer is the lead engineer on the data team.

Assuming the original data engineer no longer has access, which of the following individuals must be the one to transfer ownership of the Delta tables in Data Explorer?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The workspace administrator is the only individual who can transfer ownership of the Delta tables in Data Explorer, assuming the original data engineer no longer has access. The workspace administrator has the highest level of permissions in the workspace and can manage all resources, users, and groups. The other options are either not possible or not sufficient to perform the ownership transfer. The Databricks account representative is not involved in the workspace management. The transfer is possible and not dependent on the original data engineer. The new lead data engineer may not have the necessary permissions to access or modify the Delta tables, unless granted by the workspace administrator or the original data engineer before leaving.Reference:Workspace access control,Manage Unity Catalog object ownership.

Definitely not A) Databricks rep. They don’t handle that.

I’m leaning towards option C, the workspace administrator, but I’m not completely confident. What if there’s a way to do it without them?

I feel like this is similar to a question we did about permissions in Databricks. I want to say the new lead data engineer can take over, but I could be wrong.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember a practice question where the original owner had to be involved in the transfer. Is that the case here?

I think the workspace administrator might be the one who can transfer ownership since they have the highest level of access.
