I am looking for a way to transfer ownership of a Fabric Lakehouse.
I found the following link on using PowerShell's Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod for one to take ownership of a Fabric Warehouse. Does this API also support Fabric Lakehouses as well as all other
Fabric artifacts as of April 2024?
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/data-warehouse/change-ownership
Are there any other straightforward ways to transfer ownership of a Fabric Lakehouse?
Hi @ag91375 ,
Thanks for using Fabric Community.
At this point in time the only way to do this is to open support ticket, Have this information ready and add to the ticket:
If you are looking for this feature in Fabric.
Appreciate if you could share the feedback on our feedback channel. Which would be open for the user community to upvote & comment on. This allows our product teams to effectively prioritize your request against our existing feature backlog and gives insight into the potential impact of implementing the suggested feature.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any further queries.
When the creator of a data lakehouse leaves the company there is no way of transfering ownership? This is a very large barrier for an enterprise company to use lakehouses. Opening a support ticket for each lakehouse isn't efficient or feasible.
Hi @tschlidt ,
Yes I can understand your problem. But at present we have this limitation and only way to resolve this by opening a support ticket. In future we expect product team may develop some functionality to do this.

Hi @ag91375 ,
We haven’t heard from you on the last response and was just checking back to see if your query was answered. Otherwise, will respond back with the more details and we will try to help.
I would also like to check did you got any chance to create a support ticket? If yes, please provide the ticket number as it would help us to track for more information.
A support ticket was created - 2405130040013529 - and support cannot solve the ownership issue for Lake Houses - they keep getting confused between a Data Warehouse and a Lake House. So the suggestion to open a support ticket hasn't worked.
I also added the issue to feedback channel as suggested.
At the moment we have directed our organization not to use Lake Houses unless they completely script the data ingestion via notebook. Which means no manual uploads of files to the lakehouse. The expectation is that when the owner leaves, someone else will need to recreate the lakehouse.
Sorry, we are working through our issues. Currently we've decided to script and recreate lakehouses. Don't want to be reliant on support tickets.
Similar question - which I did create a ticket for - Gen2 Dataflows use lakehouses for staging data. All dataflows in a workspace use the same staging lakehouse - who has ownership of the staging lakehouses? I assume this is the same ownership issue, or are staging lakehouses owned by some system id?
Hi @tschlidt ,
You can navigate to the OneLake data hub and search for the term DataflowsStaging and you'll see the Owner column. Often it's going to be based on the creator of the first Dataflow Gen2 within a workspace.
Hope this is helpful.
Hi @ag91375,
Fabric has a REST API, however it is still pretty new. I have found this method to update Lakehouse properties.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/fabric/lakehouse/items/update-lakehouse?tabs=HTTP
Unfortunately, ownership is not one of them.
Not sure if it is even possible via the interface: https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/General-Discussion/How-to-change-owner-of-a-Lakehouse/m-p/...
