Microsoft Fabric Item Ownership Takeover

Sakshi Jain has an announcement:

Today, when an item owner leaves the company, their credentials expire, or they lose access, many Fabric items cease to function. For example, Lakehouses and their SQL Endpoints become inoperative, Pipelines fail to execute due to user access errors. In these situations, enabling another user to assume ownership would ensure business continuity.

We are pleased to announce that Fabric users with the right permissions can now take ownership of Fabric items.

This is a big deal. for the same reason that we don’t want individual users to own databases in SQL Server, having individual users own objects in Fabric lakehouses and endpoints was always a risky play. At least now, there’s a way to handle when that person leaves the company.
