What is the purpose of item permissions in a Fabric workspace?

• A. To grant access to all items within a workspace.
• B. To grant access to specific columns within a table.
• C. To grant access to individual warehouses for downstream consumption.
• D. To manage permissions for data sources at a tenant level.

Answer: (C)

Item-level access inside a Fabric workspace determines who can use a specific asset, such as a data warehouse, rather than giving blanket access to everything in the workspace. This means you can grant downstream consumers permission to use particular warehouses without exposing all items or making changes at the tenant level. It’s about fine-grained sharing of individual assets so teams can access exactly what they need. The other ideas—giving access to all items, protecting only specific columns, or managing permissions at the tenant level—don’t match how item permissions are intended to work, which is to control access to individual assets within a workspace for downstream use.
