Hi @pavankumarg80 ,

 

Currently, there is no direct way to change the ownership of notebooks and pipelines in Fabric.

 

However, depending on your specific needs, the following method may be helpful:

 

For changing notebook ownership

  1. Export the Notebook contents from your workspace. This creates a ZIP file containing all the cells and codes of the notebook.
  2. Import the Notebook into a new workspace under the desired service account. This will create a new notebook with the same contents but under a new owner's name.

 

Note: This method will lose any existing permissions or sharing settings and you will need to reset them in the new workspace.

For changing the ownership of a pipeline

  1. Create a dedicated service account in Azure Active Directory (AAD).
  2. As the workspace administrator, reassign permissions and transfer ownership from the old account to the new service account.
  3. Update the pipeline to use the credentials of the new service account.
