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?
The appropriate individual to transfer ownership of Delta tables in Data Explorer, when the original data engineer no longer has access, is the workspace administrator. The workspace administrator typically has the necessary permissions to manage and transfer resources within the workspace, including Delta tables. The new lead data engineer would not have the authority to transfer ownership unless they already had administrative permissions, which are usually reserved for the workspace administrator.
The answer is C - the workspace admin. How can it be the new DE? You do not even know if the new DE has access. That was not stated and so you cannot consider it.
The ownership of Delta tables in Data Explorer can be transferred by the current owner, a metastore admin, or the owner of the container1. In this case, since the original data engineer no longer has access, the Workspace Administrator (Option C) would be the most appropriate individual to transfer the ownership of the Delta tables to the new data engineer. This is because the Workspace Administrator typically has the necessary permissions to manage such resources2. Please note that the exact process may vary depending on the specific configurations and permissions set up in your workspace. It’s always a good idea to consult with your organization’s IT or data governance team to ensure the correct procedures are followed.
