Databricks-DE-Assoc Databricks Intelligence Platform Practice Question
A data engineer working in a Databricks workspace needs to create a new notebook that will be shared with teammates in the same workspace. They want the notebook to be organized in a folder named 'team_project' and be visible to all workspace users. Which action should the data engineer take to accomplish this in the Databricks workspace?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming that Databricks Repos is the default way to share notebooks, when in fact the Workspace folder with proper permissions is the simpler and more direct method for basic sharing.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Navigate to the Workspace folder, create a new folder named 'team_project', then create the notebook inside it and set its permissions to 'Can View' for all workspace users.
In Databricks, the Workspace folder is the shared area where notebooks and folders can be organized and accessed by workspace users. Creating a folder named 'team_project' there and placing the notebook inside, then setting permissions to 'Can View' for all workspace users, directly meets the requirement. This method uses native workspace features without introducing unnecessary complexity.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Create the notebook in the Workspace folder, then use the Databricks CLI to set the notebook's permission to 'Can Manage' for the 'users' group.
Why it's wrong here
Using the Databricks CLI is possible but unnecessary for a simple sharing task. Granting 'Can Manage' gives full control, which is more than the required visibility. The scenario does not specify that all users need management rights, and this approach is more complex than needed. The CLI is typically used for automation, not ad-hoc sharing.
- ✗
Create the notebook in the Workspace folder under their user directory, then move it to a shared folder and grant 'Can Edit' permission to all workspace users.
Why it's wrong here
Placing the notebook in the user directory makes it private by default. Moving it to a shared folder and granting 'Can Edit' to all workspace users would indeed share it, but the scenario asks for a folder named 'team_project' and visibility to all workspace users. This approach adds unnecessary steps and does not directly create the folder in the desired shared location.
- ✓
Navigate to the Workspace folder, create a new folder named 'team_project', then create the notebook inside it and set its permissions to 'Can View' for all workspace users.
Why this is correct
The Workspace folder is the default location for shared content in Databricks. Creating a folder there and then a notebook inside it allows organization. Setting permissions to 'Can View' for all workspace users makes it visible to everyone, satisfying the requirement. This is the straightforward, native approach without extra tools.
- ✗
Use the Databricks Repos feature to create a new repository, add a notebook, and set the repository permissions to 'Can Read' for all workspace users.
Why it's wrong here
Databricks Repos is designed for version control integration with Git providers, not for simple notebook sharing within a workspace. While it can be used for collaboration, it introduces Git concepts and does not directly create a shared folder named 'team_project' with workspace-wide visibility. The scenario does not mention Git, so this is overcomplicating the solution.
