Databricks Certified Data Engineer Professional — Question 131

A junior data engineer has manually configured a series of jobs using the Databricks Jobs UI. Upon reviewing their work, the engineer realizes that they are listed as the "Owner" for each job. They attempt to transfer "Owner" privileges to the "DevOps" group, but cannot successfully accomplish this task.

Which statement explains what is preventing this privilege transfer?

Answer options

• A. Databricks jobs must have exactly one owner; "Owner" privileges cannot be assigned to a group.
• B. The creator of a Databricks job will always have "Owner" privileges; this configuration cannot be changed.
• C. Only workspace administrators can grant "Owner" privileges to a group.
• D. A user can only transfer job ownership to a group if they are also a member of that group.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

'Owner' privileges in Databricks are restricted to a single individual, which means they cannot be assigned to a group, making option A the correct choice. Options B and C are incorrect because job ownership can indeed be transferred to others under certain conditions, and option D is not relevant since the limitation is on group ownership, not individual membership.
