Microsoft Fabric Data Engineer Associate DP-700 Practice Question
You are designing a lakehouse in Microsoft Fabric. To avoid duplicating data files that already reside in an Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 account managed by another team, you decide to surface the folder /raw/finance in your lakehouse by using a shortcut. After the shortcut is created, analytics engineers will load the data with Spark, but the source team wants to guarantee that their files cannot be modified from your workspace.
Which statement about Fabric shortcuts satisfies the source team's requirement?
Any shortcut becomes writable once the workspace owner is granted Contributor rights on the target storage account.
Fabric automatically creates a versioned copy of the target folder; engineers write to the copy while the original files stay untouched.
Write access is controlled by the lakehouse item role assignment, not by the shortcut type, so you must remove the Engineer role to prevent changes.
Shortcuts that reference Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 are read-only, so Spark sessions in the lakehouse can read the files but cannot write or delete them.
Shortcuts that point to external storage such as Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 are mounted in Microsoft Fabric as read-only paths. Spark users in the destination lakehouse can read the data through the shortcut, but any attempt to create, update, or delete files under the shortcut will fail because Fabric blocks write operations to external locations. Only shortcuts that target another OneLake location are writable. Therefore, choosing an external shortcut automatically guarantees that the finance team's files remain unchanged, whereas the other options either describe writable shortcuts, unsupported behaviors, or unrelated features.
