Query About File Sharing and Access in OneLake Workspaces

Hi HamidBee 

Here is my answer for your concerns:

In OneLake, access to files and folders is not automatically granted to everyone in the organization by default. When new data items are added to OneLake, the default access permissions would typically be set to private or restricted to certain roles or individuals, depending on your organization's policies and the configuration of the lake.

Microsoft Fabric workspaces sit on top of OneLake and divide the data lake into separate containers that can be secured independently. Workspace roles let you manage who can do what in a Microsoft Fabric workspace. When a new data item is added to a workspace in OneLake, only workspace members will have specific permissions on the item automatically. To learn about how to manage workspace access and role permissions, please read the following documentations:

Give users access to workspaces

In addition, you can also share a data item with someone who doesn't have a role in the workspace which the item is located in, please read Share items in Microsoft Fabric

You don't have to download OneLake. It is there in the Fabric Service online. To discover the data in Fabric service, you can read Discover Fabric content in the OneLake data hub

One application you can download to manage data in OneLake is OneLake file explorer application, which is seamlessly integrates OneLake with Windows File Explorer. This application automatically syncs all OneLake items that you have access to in Windows File Explorer. Please read Access Fabric data locally with OneLake file explorer
