Object Ownership in Databricks

Chen Hirsh shares a tale of woe:

Have you ever made a change in your system and immediately regretted it? A few weeks ago, I did just that while working with a customer on their Databricks platform. His IT guys made some changes, moving a user to another domain. In Databrick, this is considered a new user, so I added the new user and gave him the same permissions as the old user.

And then, without thinking twice, I deleted the old user from Databricks.

Things did not go well from there. Read on to learn what happened, why, and how to avoid this problem in the future.
