Microsoft Fabric Data Engineer Associate DP-700 Practice Question
You need to give analysts in Workspace A access to a set of parquet files that already reside in Workspace B's lakehouse without copying the data. You plan to create a shortcut in Workspace A that references the existing folder. Which statement about managing shortcuts in Microsoft Fabric meets the requirement?
You must schedule a pipeline refresh for the shortcut; otherwise, newly added files will not appear to analysts.
After you create the shortcut, renaming the source folder is automatically reflected and requires no additional action.
A shortcut can only be created at the root of the lakehouse; it cannot be placed inside sub-folders.
A shortcut relies on the source folder's permissions, so analysts must already have read access to the folder in Workspace B.
Shortcuts in Microsoft Fabric are metadata pointers to an existing location in OneLake. They do not duplicate the data and they rely on the underlying OneLake security model. If a user does not have permission on the source location, the shortcut does not grant it; access will still be denied. Moving or renaming the source path breaks the shortcut, and the data appears immediately without any refresh jobs because no materialization occurs. Shortcuts can be created inside any folder structure within a lakehouse.
