What is OneLake sharing, and how does it support collaboration?

• A. OneLake sharing enables secure access to datasets across tenants or organizations, with policy-based access and auditing to support collaboration while preserving governance.
• B. It only shares data within a single organization.
• C. It shares only metadata, not data.
• D. It disables governance controls to speed sharing.

Answer: (A)

OneLake sharing enables secure, policy-driven access to datasets across tenants or organizations, with auditing to track who accessed what and when. This design makes collaboration possible by letting authorized users from different organizations work with the same data while governance remains in place through enforceable access policies and detailed audit trails. It supports sharing of actual data (not just metadata) and preserves governance controls, rather than disabling them. In short, cross-tenant data sharing with policy-based access and auditing is what enables collaboration without sacrificing governance.
