Question 30
A platform team designs shared storage and external-data references in Fabric. The current environment exhibits the following problem: security reviewers need to restrict a shortcut to selected folders. What is the most defensible next action?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Define scoped OneLake security on the consumer location and verify target permissions. Effective access intersects source and shortcut-path authorization.
Incorrect Answers
An internal shortcut must enforce the calling user's access to its target. The default internal identity model can enforce the actual caller's target authorization.
External Delta files are required for analysis without creating a second copy. Shortcuts expose existing datasets through paths without moving source bytes.
A shortcut points to the wrong external prefix after a storage reorganization. A reference must resolve to the correct target location before queries can succeed.
