Exam Databricks-Certified-Data-Engineer-Associate Topic 1 Question 130 Discussion

Actual exam question for Databricks's Databricks-Certified-Data-Engineer-Associate exam
Question #: 130
Topic #: 1
A data engineer is configuring Unity Catalog in Databricks and needs to assign a role to a user who should have the ability to grant and revoke privileges on various data objects within a specific schema but should not have read/write access over the schema or its objects.
Which role should the data engineer assign to this user?

Suggested Answer: D Vote an answer

This question's options do not include the most precise Unity Catalog answer, which would normally be the MANAGE privilege on the schema, because Databricks documents that MANAGE allows a principal to grant and revoke privileges on an object without automatically granting all data-access privileges on that object. However, since MANAGE is not one of the answer choices, the best available answer is D, Schema Owner . Databricks states that schema owners can grant and revoke permissions on the schema, and schema- level administration is a documented responsibility of the schema owner. Option A is incorrect because USE CATALOG and USE SCHEMA only allow object access/navigation and do not confer privilege-management rights. Option B is too broad because a catalog owner governs the entire catalog scope, not just one schema.
Option C is too narrow because a table owner controls only one table, not various objects across a schema. So, among the choices provided, Schema Owner is the closest Databricks-aligned answer, though the cleanest real-world implementation would be MANAGE on the schema .
