Databricks Certified Data Engineer Professional — Question 8

The Databricks workspace administrator has configured interactive clusters for each of the data engineering groups. To control costs, clusters are set to terminate after 30 minutes of inactivity. Each user should be able to execute workloads against their assigned clusters at any time of the day.
Assuming users have been added to a workspace but not granted any permissions, which of the following describes the minimal permissions a user would need to start and attach to an already configured cluster.

Answer options

• A. "Can Manage" privileges on the required cluster
• B. Workspace Admin privileges, cluster creation allowed, "Can Attach To" privileges on the required cluster
• C. Cluster creation allowed, "Can Attach To" privileges on the required cluster
• D. "Can Restart" privileges on the required cluster
• E. Cluster creation allowed, "Can Restart" privileges on the required cluster

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because having "Can Restart" privileges allows a user to start and attach to an already configured cluster without needing to create a new one or manage it. The other options provide more permissions than necessary, such as cluster creation or management, which are not required for simply starting and attaching to an existing cluster.
