Databricks Certified Data Engineer Professional — Question 53

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. Other than the default "admins" group, only individual users can be granted privileges on jobs.
• D. A user can only transfer job ownership to a group if they are also a member of that group.
• E. Only workspace administrators can grant "Owner" privileges to a group.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because Databricks jobs are designed to have a single owner, and ownership cannot be transferred to a group. Options B and E are incorrect as they do not address the primary limitation regarding group ownership, while C and D are incorrect because they misinterpret the ownership rules related to groups and individual users.
