User via which notebook is running in data pipeline

[PriyaJha]

Hi All,

I have few scenarios wherein i am trying to understand under which user context a notebook is triggered if it is called via data pipeline-

1) If user A has created a notebook and a data pipeline which runs this notebook - notebook is running under user A context.

2) If data pipeline is taken over by user B and then notebook is called - notebook is still running under user A context.

3) If notebook and data pipeline both is taken over by user B - notebook is still running under user A context.

4) If data pipeline is scheduled - notebook is still running under user A context.

Kindly confirm, if this understanding is correct?

Hi @PriyaJha,
Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Community Forum. Let’s clarify the user context under which a notebook runs when triggered by a data pipeline in Microsoft Fabric, based on your scenarios:

1. Correct when User A creates both the notebook and pipeline, the notebook runs under User A’s security context, as User A is the pipeline owner.
2. Incorrect if User B takes over the pipeline and triggers it, the notebook runs under User B’s security context, as the pipeline’s execution context is determined by the user running the pipeline, not the notebook’s creator.
3. Incorrect if User B takes over both the notebook and pipeline, the notebook runs under User B’s security context, as User B is now the pipeline owner.
4. Partially Correct for a scheduled pipeline, the notebook runs under the security context of the user who created or last updated the schedule. If User A set the schedule, it uses User A’s context; if User B modified it, it uses User B’s context.

The notebook execution context in a pipeline is tied to the pipeline owner (for manual runs) or the user who set up/updated the schedule (for scheduled runs), not the notebook’s creator. For more details, refer to the official documentation: How to use notebooks - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn.
